Lido Colonia, Sand beach in Monopoli, Italy
Description
Lido Colonia is a sand beach located in a narrow cove bordered by cliffs along the Adriatic coast. The water here is calm and clear with a gentle slope into the sea, providing plenty of space for swimming and relaxing.
History
This beach developed as a leisure destination during the expansion of coastal tourism in Puglia in the 20th century. Its growth was part of the broader development of seaside resorts that transformed the Adriatic coastline.
Culture
The beach brings together locals and visitors who spend their summer afternoons here swimming and socializing beneath the sun. You will see families gathered on the sand and groups enjoying drinks at nearby beach bars in the late afternoon.
Practical
The beach is easily reached from nearby parking areas and provides rentals for sunbeds and umbrellas. It tends to be quieter in the early morning hours and becomes busier as the day progresses with families and tourists.
