The enchanting coastline of Monopoli stretches for about 13 kilometers, featuring long golden sandy beaches interspersed with small coves and rocky outcrops. Monopoli, consistently recognized with the Blue Flag, offers over twenty beaches with clean, crystal-clear waters—perfect for sunbathing, relaxing, enjoying music, or taking part in water sports.

The first beach, located near the historic center, is known as Portavecchia: a short stretch of fine sand nestled against the city’s 16th-century defensive walls, offering a unique and iconic view of Monopoli.

Walking southward, you’ll find small sandy inlets flanked by rocks—most of them free to the public—that surprise visitors with their natural charm. Just a short distance from the town center are Porto Bianco, Porto Rosso, and Porto Verde.

For those seeking a more secluded and wild spot, where you can relax to the sound of the waves, simply continue a little further south along the cliffs and choose the stretch of coast that appeals to you most.

If you prefer a beach with full amenities, there is a wide selection of beach clubs near the center of Monopoli or a few kilometers south in Capitolo. Here, you can enjoy delicious fresh seafood, take part in sports, have fun, and dance to music right on the sand.
