Top beaches in Amalfi Coast

Spiaggia Grande, Positano

The iconic beach with colourful umbrellas backed by pastel houses — it's touristy but undeniably gorgeous. Arrive before 9am to snag a free spot on the public section at the far right.

Fiordo di Furore Beach

A hidden cove under a dramatic bridge between towering cliffs. The water is impossibly clear and there's room for maybe 50 people. Reach it via steep steps from the road above.

Marina di Praia

A small pebbly beach tucked into a narrow cove between Praiano and Amalfi. The water is crystal clear, there's a decent restaurant on the beach, and it never gets as packed as Positano.

Spiaggia di Atrani

A tiny beach right next to Amalfi that most tourists walk past. It's where local families swim — the setting between ancient buildings is gorgeous and there are no aggressive beach club touts.

Duoglio Beach, Amalfi

West of Amalfi town, reached by a long staircase or water taxi. The snorkelling here is excellent thanks to rocky outcrops, and the beach club serves solid seafood lunches.

Santa Croce Beach

A secluded beach near Amalfi reached by boat or a steep path. The turquoise water is some of the clearest on the coast, and there's a small restaurant serving fresh catch.

Gavitella Beach, Praiano

A free public beach with a concrete platform and ladders into deep blue water. Sunset here is spectacular — the sun dips right into the sea with Capri silhouetted on the horizon.

Marina di Cetara

A working fishing village beach where you can swim alongside colourful boats. It's gloriously uncommercialized — bring your own towel, buy an anchovy sandwich from the village, and settle in.
