Latest reviews on Capri island's beaches

Marina Piccola Beach
8 Kadir Ozkan.

This beach may be small and beautiful, but that also means it can get quite crowded. However, if you're willing to deal with the crowds, you'll definitely enjoy it. Just be aware that the seagulls can be quite annoying. If you love taking photos, your Instagram feed will definitely benefit from shots of this beach. I highly recommend visiting before the peak season.

Cala Grande
10 Seraphine Laroche

This beach in Capri is one of the few options available. The water is stunningly clear! Although it can get quite crowded during the summer, the scenery is definitely worth it. Snorkeling is fantastic there! I highly recommend it!

Bagni di Tiberio

Visited the seaside - divine cuisine, bursting with freshness and flavorsome. Exceptional hospitality - the ferry service is also exceptional. The ambiance is awe-inspiring and it's secluded nature gives a sense of exclusivity. I wouldn't hesitate to return!

Torre Saracena
10 Blossom Ridge Bed & Breakfast

Torre Saracena Spiaggia Ristorante Bar & Beach Club is the ideal secluded spot for a day on the most stunning island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. This restaurant has been a favorite of ours for a decade, especially when we spend a day on a private boat as they always recommend this restaurant due to its seclusion and easy accessibility by boat. The kitchen walls are adorned with water tanks filled with the freshest fish, crustaceans, and sea shells. The maître d' presents the catch of the day in a basket for you to personally select and weigh in front of you. As you dine, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Faraglioni Rock formations from the shore. The beach club below is absolutely perfect. It offers around 30 chairs, providing a private and serene atmosphere. The beach itself is rocky, surrounded by beautiful clear cobalt blue waters. Don't forget to bring your water shoes! The prices here are very reasonable, with €35 for a towel and chair for the day, and €11 for an umbrella. It's truly a bargain on Capri. It's advisable to make reservations months in advance, as this is a popular local spot and most of the chairs are booked for the entire season. A big thank you to the staff for providing us with a truly relaxing day!

Lido del Faro

This beach club in Capri is hands down the best. The staff was incredibly generous and kind, and the food was really good too! The highlight of the experience was the crystal-clear water, which was secluded from everything.
