\nSpiaggia Grande Beach Positano<\/strong><\/p>\n

The view from Spiaggia Grande Beach Positano looking up at the town is really the highlight of the visit. Spiaggia Grande Grand Beach is a pebbled beach (like most European beaches). It is lined with many restaurants, cafes and hotels, and the views of Positano from here are amazing.\u00a0From here, you get an unobstructed view of the picturesque hillside town. The beautiful turquoise color\u00a0water, the colorful boats and lovely picturesque buildings.\u00a0The most prominent building is a church dating back to the 1200’s. Located at the bottom of the town, and situated right on the beach is the stunning green\u00a0and\u00a0gold tiled dome of Church Santa Maria Assunta Positano.<\/p>\n

There are many private establishments on Spiaggia Grande Beach where you can hire lounge chairs (sun beds) and umbrellas.\u00a0They charge 10 euro per person for a beach chair and umbrella, and 2.50 euro for a beach towel if you don’t happen to bring your own.\u00a0There is also a small part of beach where you can just lay down on your beach towel. It is the section closest to the dock,\u00a0from where you can\u00a0take a boat\u00a0to Capri, Amalfi or Sorrento.<\/p>\n

There is tons of water activities to take advantage of. You can rent motor boats, kayaks and also stand up paddle boats.<\/p>\n

There’s also a some showers, cabins for changing your clothes and restrooms available for an additional fee.<\/p>\n

You can order food and drinks (and alcohol) from the beach attendant, or just grab it yourself from one of the lovely restaurants.<\/p>\n

Spiaggia Grande Beach Positano<\/strong> is\u00a0composed\u00a0of rocks, pebbles, and coarse dark sand. I highly recommend bringing water shoes with you, it makes it so much easier to get around.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of ways to get down to Spiaggia Grande Beach. You can take the local windy road down to the water. It\u00a0can take a while,\u00a0due to the very narrow streets.\u00a0Or you can take the many stairs (between 300-400) down to the beach.<\/p>\n

Spiaggia Grande Beach Positano will get very crowded during the day. If you\u00a0are\u00a0searching for a spot less busy, there is a smaller beach, right past the main strip of land.[\/tab]<\/p>\n
