Pimonte - all beaches

Terrible, don't bother if you aren't Italian. Rude staff and really disgusting beach

They forgot to say that access to the beach is by elevator, very picturesque but in high season it can be a complication.

We were staying nearby and someone suggested we visit the beach for its beautiful view. However, the hotel's parking attendant informed us that it was a private beach and we were not allowed to enter. Perhaps next time we'll consider booking a hotel so we can enjoy the amazing view.

We made a lunch reservation in advance due to the busy nature of the beach. We were picked up by a complimentary boat at Amalfi Harbour and taken on a 10-minute journey to Spiaggia Santa Croce, a small cove with two restaurants. We decided to spend the whole day there, so we rented two loungers and an umbrella, which was a bit pricey at 50 euros but worth it for the day. Our loungers were in a great spot on the pontoon right by the sea, although the beach itself was quite pebbly. For lunch, we had a fantastic table on the veranda overlooking the cove, and the staff were quick and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary amuse bouche. The tuna tartar starter was simple in appearance but had excellent flavor with capers and lemon seasoning. The lobster linguini was a generous portion with a large, meaty claw. I opted for the homemade pasta with clams, mussels, and squid, one of my favorite dishes. We enjoyed a bottle of rose wine from Tremonti with our meal. After some time relaxing on the loungers and a refreshing swim, we were picked up at 5pm and taken back to Amalfi. Overall, we had a fantastic day at the beach and want to thank the staff for their hospitality.

This serene and tidy beach is a perfect spot for families with young ones and anyone seeking a tranquil day amid the stunning waters of the Amalfi coast. The bar provides excellent service, and lunch reservations can be made in advance during the morning. The terrace boasts breathtaking views of the sea, and the attentive managers are always ready to assist. Despite not pre-booking lunch, we were still treated with care and efficiency. The beach is equipped with showers, toilets, and changing rooms, all available at reasonable prices.
