About the beach
In the municipality of Monopoli, in the province of Bari (Apulia), Cala Verde is a sandy beach on the Adriatic Sea.
Orientation: northeast (60°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W), keeps it calm; the Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
