Positano

Beautiful Beaches

Positano’s coastline features a variety of beaches characterized by steep limestone cliffs and clear Tyrrhenian waters. Spiaggia Fornillo offers a quieter alternative to the main harbor, accessible via a scenic coastal path. Spiaggia d’Arienzo is distinguished by its southern orientation, providing longer hours of sunlight, and its famous three-hundred-step descent. Remote coves like La Porta and Fiumicello are primarily reached by boat, offering pebble shores and rocky inlets away from the central town crowds.
