About

Positano Beach is located on the Tyrrhenian Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 5th place out of 144 beaches in the Salerno region 23.7 km away from its center, the city of Salerno. It is one of the beaches of Positano settlement, just 0.2 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, among the mountains, surrounded by the cliffs. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a straight coastline with crystal blue water and gray fine pebble, so you don't need special shoes. The entrance to the water is very smooth. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

Despite the fact that a significant part of the beach is occupied by resorts, there is still a fairly large area with free access. The beach facilities are only available to visitors of resort area. Their list includes, loungers and umbrellas, beach restaurant, changing rooms, showers, toilets. During the season this beach line is supervised by a lifeguard.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Positano Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

This beach is quite busy and can be pricey with a cost of €30 per person for a sunbed. The sand is dark and quite hot, so it's recommended to wear beach shoes. While the view of the town from the sea is impressive, overall, this beach is not as great as it's made out to be.

This beach is truly exceptional with breathtaking vistas and a secure environment to leave your belongings under the rented umbrellas. You can relish the convenience of food and drink service delivered right to your umbrella. The staff is amiable and vigilant, ensuring your comfort throughout your stay. Although the rental fee for umbrellas may seem steep at 30EUR per person during peak season, it's worth the investment for a day of fun in the sun. Additionally, showers are available at a nominal cost of 50c.

This destination is truly one-of-a-kind. While it may not be the most accessible or budget-friendly beach to visit, its prime location makes it worth the trip. The cost of entry and a sun lounger may seem steep, starting at €30, but the loungers come with attentive service and a selection of food and beverages. The beach itself is composed of pebbles, which can be a bit rough on bare feet. If you need to rinse off, cold showers are available for €0.5, while warm showers cost €2. If you plan on driving to the beach, be prepared to search for parking and pay a premium for it. The minimum rate for parking is €10 per three hours.

Positano is a charming town that truly shines when the sun is out. Visiting during the off-peak season is a great idea, as you'll have more space to yourself without having to worry about bumping into too many people. However, it's worth noting that some of the amenities may be closed during this time. The town's shops are geared towards tourists, and you'll find lemon-based products everywhere you look. Thankfully, many of the shops do accept card payments. The area's coastal cliffs are stunning, but be prepared for a workout if you plan on exploring them on foot. If you're looking to get to Amalfi, be aware that taking a taxi can be expensive and the winding roads can make for a long journey. In the event that the bus drivers are on strike, your options may be limited. When it comes to dining, expect to pay around 18€ for a whole pizza and 4.50€ for a juice. While Positano is certainly worth a visit, it's not necessarily a place you'll want to return to again and again. Consider exploring some of the lesser-known towns in the area to get a better sense of what the region has to offer.
