Nice beach, but it's important to keep in mind that there are no amenities available. The tranquil sound of the waves and the soft sand make for a peaceful and serene experience. However, visitors should be prepared with their own supplies and necessities for a day at the beach. Despite the lack of services, the natural beauty of the beach makes it a worthwhile destination for those seeking a quiet and relaxing escape.

It was a pleasant experience to spend time on the sandy beach, although the water was quite choppy, making it challenging to swim. However, I believe that it would be more enjoyable on a calmer day. Unfortunately, there were limited options for food in the surrounding area, and without a car, it was challenging to reach. We opted to walk from Monopoli's old town, which took us about 30 minutes, but the heat made it quite arduous. In my opinion, the beaches situated south of Monopoli offer a more appealing experience.
