Lovely seaside village with gravel beach and restaurants. Getting there is a little tricky when it's busy as there is a steep, windy road leading to the beach. For small cars this is OK but I would advise against big SUVs. Halfway down there is parking under trees and they charge €10 for the whole day. Next to the beach there is another parking lot but that's pricier, not sure how much they charge. I'd guess €15-20 for the day. The beach is free to use but you can rent sunbeds and parasols. On the portion we went that was €10 each for sunbeds and parasols. We had lunch at St. Raphaels and a Pizza Margharita was €6, a Pizza Prosciutto €7. We paid €60 for 4 mains and 4 drinks incl. 1 beer and incl. Tip. Tasted lovely, so definitely not overpriced. The whole place doesn't seem too touristy and when we got there at around 10am we were one of two families at the small portion of the beach. It started filling up quick afterwards. Parking, two sunbeds, a parasol and lunch for four set us back €100 all in. This information is correct as of August 7th, 2023. All staff...

The beach is very busy, so you will need to turn up early to claim your spot. On the sandy part of the beach there are sun loungers and umbrellas which can be hired out. On the rocky part of the beach, no payment is required and there is still easy access to the sea.
When the tide is going out, the beach is very clean. We even had a quick chat to a local who was picking up litter. They really seem to have respect for the area. However, incoming tide also brings in litter from the sea.
There are also plenty of restaurants and hotels on the beach, although we didn't get around to trying...
Read moreWe stayed at Sorrento, but we wanted to explore nearby beaches, so we decided to take a trip here. We took a bus from center of Sorrento (2€/person ticket) to Via Capo. From there a 10-15 minutes of walk until we reached our destination, the beach. Waves, sand and pebbles in the shore,some ristorantes, small shops. You have a possibility to rent umbrella and bed: for 2 persons 1 umbrella and 2 beds were 25€(free toilet and dressing room, but the shower extra +1€ for use). For comparison: within Sorrento the entry to private spiaggia (Leonelli, Peter…), which contains for 2 persons 2 beds 1 umbrella, toilet dressing room and shower, costs 50€. The beach was not so crowded at 10.00, and slowly started to fill up...
