Lunch on the Beach
There are many places to eat on the beach, but don’t miss out on this one for a great lunch. Not only is there exceptional food and service. Enjoy fresh fish and pastas here including excellent, friendly service. The pasta with clams was amazing, as well as the lobster linguine and seared tuna salad – actually we ate here twice and every dish we had was phenomenal! My favorite!
Address: 51 Spiagge Grande
Spiaggia Grande Harbor – on Positano Beach
Here you will find a small jetty that offers boat excursions, rental boats and a sea taxi service from Positano Beach. You can boat to other areas of the Amalfi Coast such as Capri and Amalfi, as well as small coves, which can only be accessed by sea. Likewise, there is also a dock for ferries and larger boats. (A great option for transportation to and from Naples) For a unique and delicious lunch, try Da Adolfo Ristorante. They have complimentary boat service and their own little beach.
Fornillo Beach
If you’re looking for a quieter beach which is only a 10 minute scenic walk away, you will enjoy Fornillo Beach. From the Spiaggia Grande harbor, bear right and walk along the costal path. There are a few fully equipped Lidos and the rentals are much less expensive than Spiaggia Grande.
Positano Beaches make you Jump for Joy!
