About the beach
Macramè, within Monopoli (the province of Bari, Apulia), is a sandy beach on the Adriatic Sea.
The beach faces northeast (45°). It is most sheltered when the Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
