Chicchi Beach — Attraction in Vico Equense

We wanted a day to enjoy on the beach in our area. We looked around on maps and found this place. It is way down what appears to be a service street. We felt like we were going to far and in an area we weren’t supposed to be then around a small curve and past the trash cans and there it is.

The beach was crowded. They said sun beds are €10 each and an umbrella was €5 so total was €25 for the two of us. We picked a couple open chairs in front. We were there 5 minutes and a couple moms showed up with their 4 kids and had them put their chairs right in front of us.

The beach itself and this beach club area just felt dirty. They were washing off some of the chairs when we arrived. The beach area just had debris on the rocky beach and area with the chairs. It would feel nicer if they just raked up the area.

We sat there in the sun for about 30 minutes then decided to walk down the street to book a semi private boat tour to Capri the next day. On the way there we heard nice relaxing music on the other side of an 8’ high fence. We found an opening in the fence that led to a restaurant so we peeked in and saw sun beds. We asked and they said they rent them for €20 each and the umbrella was included. Total €40 for the two of us.

We then booked our boat ride for the next day. Went back to our area gathered our things and left this dirty crowded area to go to a clean relaxing beach. So we spend the €25 here for 30 minutes and felt it was worth it to spend another €40 to enjoy a more relaxed area.

This area was was less expensive and felt like it was mostly locals and only a few travelers like ourselves. So locals will probably go with the less expensive location because they go more often but we just wanted something nicer, cleaner and more relaxing.

They did offer food and drink at this location but we were not there long...

Lido balneare situato nel bel panorama di Vico Equense, purtroppo molto disorganizzato. Molto, troppo affollato, non c'era nemmeno lo spazio per passare attraverso i lettini al punto da dover districarsi per poter arrivare al mare. Mancava lo spazio vitale..... Il bagnino...... faceva anche da spiaggino........di tutto.....tranne che rimanere sulla sua postazione nonostante la bandiera bianca issata. (Ovviamente i lettini non venivano minimamente sanificati tra un cliente e l'altro) La barca di salvataggio....se così si può chiamare, veniva usata come rimessa di oggetti ingombranti, anche passeggini............... Bagni sporchissimi con un solo spogliatoio comune, dove il lavabo del bagno maschile scaricava direttamente a terra ai piedi. La spiaggia sporchissima, colma di mozziconi di sigarette, tappi di birre e pezzi di ferro arrugginiti. Ricordo che la pulizia tocca esclusivamente al lido che non la effettua. Assenza totolare di dispencer di auchina. Ah....gli animali non...

Beautiful beach with clear water and a relaxed vibe. Sunbeds and umbrellas are well organized, and the bar offers good drinks and snacks. The staff are friendly and helpful, making it a great spot to spend the day by the sea. There are a lot of stones as you enter the water making it...
