What to do in Cala Paradiso? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Cala Paradiso can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Cala Paradiso you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

In most cases, the question What to do on Cala Paradiso implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

Pretty beach, although does get very busy. Half the beach is free to sit in and half is with sunbeds and parasols for hire.

4 Frustrating

Waves were very high, was a breezy day but not windy. I didn't stay as water was thick with seaweed and it looked difficult when it came to getting in and out of the water. I was anxious sea would push you up against rocks cutting or scraping you as you get in and out. Found a much nicer beach about 5 minutes further out the road.

Excellent beach, the best one in Monopoli town limits. Suitable for sunbathing even in the late fall season - the rocks around are providing shelter from the winds so it is way warmer.

8 Very good

One of the best beaches in the area. Clean, well looked after. Parking available right in front. But bring your own food and drinks. The beach bar is not the friendliest place in Italy.

Busy and dirty beach filled with children. Disgusting water. Go up the cliff to Cala Vè.
