Latest reviews on Praiano's beaches

Minori beach
10 Kavin Ralfe

The beach was an absolute gem, offering us a prime spot at the front row with two sunbeds and an umbrella for an affordable price of 25 EUR. The atmosphere was serene and authentic, unlike the bustling Amalfi. Additionally, we couldn't resist indulging in their delectable paninis that left us in awe. Overall, a truly remarkable experience.

Positano Beach
10 Calvin Raine

This destination is truly one-of-a-kind. While it may not be the most accessible or budget-friendly beach to visit, its prime location makes it worth the trip. The cost of entry and a sun lounger may seem steep, starting at €30, but the loungers come with attentive service and a selection of food and beverages. The beach itself is composed of pebbles, which can be a bit rough on bare feet. If you need to rinse off, cold showers are available for €0.5, while warm showers cost €2. If you plan on driving to the beach, be prepared to search for parking and pay a premium for it. The minimum rate for parking is €10 per three hours.

Spiaggia di atrani
10 Ethan Callahan

This beach is absolutely stunning! The first row offers two chairs and an umbrella for a reasonable price of 40€. Additionally, there is a convenient snack bar located right next to the beach where you can indulge in some delicious food and refreshing drinks. For a mere 5-10€, you can enjoy a scrumptious pizza or panini, while a beer or soda will only set you back 5€. It is highly recommended to bring water shoes, as the beach can be quite rocky.

Amalfi beach
8 Nyx Daramola

The staff is very friendly and the location is great. It's not too crowded and during high season in August, it costs 30€ per person for a beach bed, umbrella, and wifi. Unfortunately, there are no free beaches unless you sit on the cliffs. The menu has a wide variety of options and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. The only disappointment was the Piña colada. Overall, I highly recommend this place. The sea has a large shallow area where you can stand or venture out to deeper waters for a nice swim. Additionally, there is a lifeguard on duty to ensure safety.

Il Duoglio beach
8 Nathaniel Knight

This charming beach is a hidden gem, but beware of a potential scam at the entrance. The beach is divided into three sections, with two of them being privately owned by a hotel and two restaurants. Unfortunately, the hotel area is reserved for their guests only. Access to the beach can be gained by either taking a boat from Amalfi for 4 euros per person or walking down a staggering 460 steps from the road. To reach the entrance, you must head up the road from hotel Ninfa. One of the restaurants, Lido Degli Artisti, employs an attendant at the top of the steps who falsely claims that visitors must pay 30 euros per person for a sunlounger to use the steps down to the beach. However, the other restaurant, I Due Scugnizzi, charges half that amount (30 euros for 2 loungers and a parasol), and there is also a public section available. I Due Scugnizzi is a great spot for lunch, with simple yet delicious beach shack cuisine at reasonable prices. Despite the potential scam, the pebbled beach is beautiful, with crystal clear water. However, there are quite a few boats in the area, which is a common sight along the entire coast.

Arienzo beach
10 Lila Maeve

We had an absolute blast at the beach club! As avid beach-goers, we've visited many clubs in our time, but this one was truly special. We decided to take a private boat from our hotel instead of using the club's shuttle from the ferry pier, and it was definitely worth it. Upon arriving at 11am, we were pleased to find that we had to book online beforehand, and there were several options to choose from. We ended up going for the Platinum option, which turned out to be perfect for us. The waitstaff were plentiful and attentive, which was a refreshing change from some of our past experiences. The drinks were simply amazing - we tried the blackberry mojito, peach margarita, and watermelon with Beluga vodka, all of which were top-notch. For lunch, we decided to dine at the restaurant, but you can also opt to eat on the beach if you prefer. We indulged in a delicious caprese salad, salmon ceviche (which was outstanding), tuna steak, and lobster pasta. The beach itself is rocky, so we highly recommend bringing beach or water shoes to avoid burning your feet. All in all, we had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend this beach club to anyone looking for a great time!
