St.Croce beach
10 Jasper Cole

We made a lunch reservation in advance due to the busy nature of the beach. We were picked up by a complimentary boat at Amalfi Harbour and taken on a 10-minute journey to Spiaggia Santa Croce, a small cove with two restaurants. We decided to spend the whole day there, so we rented two loungers and an umbrella, which was a bit pricey at 50 euros but worth it for the day. Our loungers were in a great spot on the pontoon right by the sea, although the beach itself was quite pebbly. For lunch, we had a fantastic table on the veranda overlooking the cove, and the staff were quick and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary amuse bouche. The tuna tartar starter was simple in appearance but had excellent flavor with capers and lemon seasoning. The lobster linguini was a generous portion with a large, meaty claw. I opted for the homemade pasta with clams, mussels, and squid, one of my favorite dishes. We enjoyed a bottle of rose wine from Tremonti with our meal. After some time relaxing on the loungers and a refreshing swim, we were picked up at 5pm and taken back to Amalfi. Overall, we had a fantastic day at the beach and want to thank the staff for their hospitality.

Pozzano beach

All is super👍

Spiaggia Seiano
8 Aurora Wentworth

The beach offers an exquisite backdrop, however, it is frequently inundated with a multitude of restaurants and cafes, which can be quite costly.

Vico Equense beach II
8 Ethan Richards.

The scenery is absolutely stunning and the water is warm, but there are quite a few rocks in the water. The cost to rent a chair for the day is 3€ and be prepared to climb a substantial amount of stairs to reach the beach on foot.

Stone beach II
10 Rajiv Mehta.

The crystal-clear waters of this beach are simply delightful, and while it may take a bit of a stroll to reach it, the journey is well worth it.

Marina di Stabia
10 Mitchell Anderson

We rented a motor boat from this place, and the guard who greeted us upon arrival was both funny and helpful, ensuring that we found the right dock. The restroom facilities were excellent, and the attendants at the fueling station were extremely accommodating. And let me tell you, the sight of all the yachts docked there was truly inspiring, especially for anyone aspiring to be an entrepreneur.
