6 of the best beaches on the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is famous for its stunning scenery and expansive views of the coastline. Many people head here during the summer months but in fact, it can be visited all year round. Along the Amalfi Coast, villas for rent are popular with tourists looking for a relaxing break, and often that means spending time relaxing on the beach. But in a region as impressive and diverse as this one, which beaches should you visit? Here are six of the best.
1. Beach of Castiglione di Ravello
Ravello is one of the most popular destinations for tourists on the Amalfi Coast. The villas here attract people all year round, and there are many great things to see and do in the city. The beach is known to be one of the best in the region; It is small, sheltered and very beautiful, especially in the morning when it receives the full force of the direct sunlight that bounces off the Mediterranean.
2. Gavitella Beach
This beautiful beach is located in Vettica Maggiore, another popular destination on the Amalfi Coast. The villas for rent here are popular with visitors who revel in the pleasures of the beach by being so conveniently located close to the city center. One of the best features of the beach is that it remains sunny throughout the afternoon, unlike many others in the area. There is a good restaurant here and sun loungers can be hired for the day.
3. Lannio Beach
Lannio Beach is located in Cetara, which is a nice little fishing village. It is very popular with locals and tourists, so finding a place to park can be difficult unless you arrive early in the morning. But it is not difficult to spend a whole day here and there is a bar where you can buy drinks and snacks.
4. Tuoro Vecchio Beach
This is a private sandy beach near Cetara; It is quite popular as there are not many sandy beaches in the area. It is easily accessible by car or bus and you can also use the hotel’s bar and restaurant while there. Being a private beach, there is a small charge.
5. Arienzo Beach
This charming beach is quite close to Positano, one of the most picturesque and popular places to stay on the Amalfi Coast. You can walk or take a bus to the beach, and the ride itself is very pleasant. The water is crystal clear and sun loungers can be hired for the day. Part of the beach is free, while part is private.
6. Tordigliano beach
Close to Positano, this is one of the largest beaches in the area. It is sandy and rocky to varying degrees, and despite its size and beauty, it is not crowded or overly developed. It’s a little hike down to the beach (and back up again!), But it’s worth the effort. You can also get there by boat.
For a wonderful vacation on the Italian Amalfi Coast, rental villas give you the freedom and independence to enjoy the best this region has to offer. As demonstrated, there are many beaches to choose from, the ones above are just the beginning.
