Cala Paradiso In Monopoli

The only beach in the area, reasonably well-stocked. Prices are a bit high, the shower isn't very functional. They have plenty of seating, and the atmosphere is very well-kept and pleasant. The restaurant/bar offers a few specialties, but they're good and the prices are reasonable. Excellent for an aperitif.

Beautiful cove on the outskirts of Monopoli. Good amenities and clean beach.

Beautiful, clean, well-maintained beach. Undrinkable coffee. Bar service needs to be reviewed.

Scenic small area, so sunbeds are close to each other. We paid €40 for two beds and a parasol near the back of the sandy area. If you want to be in front of the sea, you can reserve in advance online for a few euro more. But not worth it for us, as we don't spend long enough there. Water is warm as it's the Adriatic but gets deep and rocky quickly, so I didn't spend a long time there! Bar area and toilets about 5 mins around the corner, where I relaxed with a cola and my book.

The umbrellas are a bit too close together and the prices aren't cheap. On the other hand, the food is good.

Equipped beach club, also private parking available for €5 per day, very convenient. Prices are average. The sea is fabulous! Friendly and helpful staff. The food service is a very pleasant surprise: a rustic kiosk, you order, they provide you with a placemat and cutlery that you set yourself, then a girl brings everything to your table. This ensures orderly and very fast service. Excellent round pizza, excellent fish first course, fabulous burrata. Definitely a place to return to. Well done!

Nobody was here to welcome us and tell where our sunbed was. We had to search for 15 minutes. Do NOT go for the sunbeds on the grass, absolutely not worth it. Make sure you pick the sunbeds on the beach. We ended up leaving after <1h, very disappointed. Showers are not included and cost 0.50€.

LEAVE EARLY, THE BEACH IS FULL BY 6:00 AM. To avoid any problems, I arrived at the beach at 4:00 AM.

We booked the day before online €40 for two sun beds, 50 for 3. We get there they say the beach level sun beds are all taken so we had to sit out on the terrace that is four flights up from the beach. It was a bummer but still we paid same price as the beach level beds which makes no sense. The beach was crowded like crazy on a Thursday and when we asked a couple hours to move down to the beach we were told no. Would not return here. The beach bar was chaos as people can not form a simple line to order everyone is clustered around and people try to cut you if you are not forceful. We ordered pizza and pucce and both were bland

Beautiful beach, well-organized, excellent value for money. Very kind and helpful staff, and the food at the little bar was excellent. There are several nearby coves that are also very beautiful. It was a very pleasant experience and I would gladly return.
