Alles über Marina Piccola

Was Sie erwartet

Marina Piccola is a small beach area that offers stunning views of the Faraglioni rocks, which rise majestically from the sea just offshore. The beach itself is pebbly, and the water is calm and clear, making it a great spot for swimming and sunbathing. There are a few small restaurants and cafes along the shore where you can enjoy local seafood and refreshing drinks with a view. While Marina Piccola is quieter than the more tourist-heavy spots on the island, it still retains a lively atmosphere, especially in the summer months. It’s also a popular starting point for boat tours around the island or excursions to nearby beaches.

Warum diese Tour buchen

While Marina Piccola offers a more peaceful experience compared to Marina Grande, it can still get quite busy, especially during the summer months. Be prepared for limited parking if you're arriving by car, as Capri's narrow streets can fill up quickly with tourists. The beach is rocky, so comfortable footwear is recommended, especially if you plan to walk along the shore or swim. There are no major amenities like changing rooms or showers, so bring everything you need with you. The water is calm and ideal for swimming, but as with any popular beach, it’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon for a more tranquil experience.

Die richtige Tour auswählen

Getting to Marina Piccola is easy from Capri's main square, Piazza Umberto I. From there, you can take a bus or taxi to the beach, or if you enjoy walking, it’s a scenic 15-20 minute walk down the hill. For those who prefer a more relaxing experience, there are also boat tours that depart from Marina Grande and make stops at various locations, including Marina Piccola. If you’re staying on the island, it’s an easy and quick trip, but be prepared for a bit of a climb back up if you're walking. The views on the way down are well worth the effort!
