5 most beautiful beaches in Amalfi

The  best way to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast is discovering its amazing beaches. Here are Amalfi’s 5 loveliest beaches.

Marina Grande Beach

Marina Grande is Amalfi’s main beach and one of the best known of the whole coast. It is a gravel and pebble beach where numerous beach clubs provide sunbeds and umbrellas. The seawater is clear and mild, perfect for snorkeling.
Marina Grande is a favorite destination for both tourists and Italian families as the beach is just a few steps from the city centre. Therefore, it is ideal to combine a relaxing day at sea with a walk in the historic centre of Amalfi, full of restaurants, cafés, and shops.

Atrani’s Beach

Atrani is an enchanting small village of 792 inhabitants just outside Amalfi. The town has one of the most charming beaches along the Amalfi Coast. A truly hidden gem, this sand and pebble beach is less crowded than Marina Grande beach and inspires calm and relaxation.

Duoglio Beach

Duoglio beach is among the lesser-known beaches of Amalfi and is surrounded by high cliffs. You can access the beach either by sea or by going down 400 stone steps, but its crystalline water and breathtaking views are worth the effort. 

Santa Croce Beach

The uncontaminated Santa Croce pebble beach is difficult to reach as it is accessible just by sea. Therefore, it is an exclusive and uncrowded venue. A hidden gem with an incredible crystal clear seawater, Santa Croce beach is the ideal place for those who look for a peaceful place away from the chaos of Amalfi.

Castiglione Beach

Castiglione beach is located in the characteristic town of Ravello and is considered one of the most picturesque beaches of the Amalfi Coast. It is a sand and pebble beach surrounded by cliffs and features a quiet, romantic ambience. You can choose between some stretches of free beach or hire sunbeds and umbrellas provided by local beach clubs. 

How to get to the beaches

Most of the beaches are easily reachable by car. Moreover, public bus lines connect Amalfi to the surrounding towns, but public means of transport are overcrowded during the summer season. Hiring a private boat tour would offer a perfect solution to visit all the beaches you prefer, the less reachable included. In this case you are free to decide the perfect itinerary to visit the most beautiful beaches of the area on the same day.
