Cala Paradiso

Cala Paradiso is a picturesque beach located within the town limits of Monopoli. Known for its natural beauty, the beach is surrounded by rocks that provide shelter from the winds, making it suitable for sunbathing even in the late fall season. The beach is well-maintained and clean, making it one of the best beaches in the area. The sandy beach is family-friendly and is a great spot for swimming, with the beautiful colors of the water adding to its charm. The beach can get quite busy, with half of it being free to sit in, and the other half offering sunbeds and parasols for hire. Despite its popularity, the beach maintains a serene environment, with high waves and a breezy atmosphere. However, visitors should be cautious as the water can be thick with seaweed, and the sea's force may push one against the rocks while getting in and out of the water. Amenities at Cala Paradiso include a beach bar, although visitors are advised to bring their own food and drinks. Conveniently, parking is available right in front of the beach, making it easily accessible for visitors.
