Best beaches in Capri: Marina grande

It is the first Capri beach that you will come across on your path. The Marina Grande beach is located in Marina Grande, which is also the port of the island. Here you will disembark with the hydrofoil/ferry and then decide what to do on the island. It is the largest on the island with lots space available, bars and restaurants nearby. If you decide to stay somewhere large, this beach is definitely for you.

From Marina Grande to Capri centre

You can reach the next two beaches from the center of Capri. To reach the center of Capri (the famous piazzetta) from Marina Grande you can:

  • Take the funicular (ticket office in Marina Grande)
  • Taxi (recommended if you can split the costs)

Best beaches in Capri: Marina piccola

Marina piccola is an iconic beach here in Capri because of the view of the faraglioni. Even though it is small, it is disarmingly beautiful, also given by its rocky conformation. Near the beach you will find many bars and restaurants where you can refresh yourself and have lunch. In my opinion it is the prettiest of the 3.

How to get to Marina Piccola via the Krupp path

From Capri center you have several ways to reach Marina Piccola. The most evocative and breathtaking one that I highly recommend is through via Krupp. A serpentine path near the Gardens of Augustus (with a view of the sea faraglioni). I fell in love with this trail.

Anacapri beach

Last, but not least, the Anacapri beach. In reality, Anacapri isn't even a beach. Given the rocky conformation of the area, it is more of another alternative place to swim. In Anacapri the fun thing is precisely the fact that you can dive from the rocks. So it's a bit of a water amusement park. The beauty of the place is also given by the presence of the lighthouse, iconic symbol of Capri.

Anacapri, in the evening, becomes a magical place with its beautiful sunset. In fact, on this part of the island the sun sets straight into the sea. This is also one of the reasons why so many people come here to swim. The area has several bars and restaurants where people stop at sunset. This is also a good reason to consider spending a night in Capri.

How to get to Anacapri beach

Getting to Anacapri beach is very simple. All you need to do is take:

  • Bus from Capri center to Anacapri (after which take another bus from Anacapri that takes you to the lighthouse)
  • Taxi
