The Furore fjord — Italy's smallest beach
A 25-metre beach at the bottom of a deep, narrow gorge, accessed by 200 steps from the SS163 bridge.
The visit
Bus 5070 or 5050 from Amalfi stops at the bridge. The marked stairs descend 70 metres to the beach. There's no bar, no umbrellas, no rentals — just rocks, a fishing boat or two, and the sound of water.
Go at 10:00 to have the place to yourself; by 14:00 the boats arrive and the cove is busy. Pack lunch, leave nothing behind.

Skip the big cattle-boat tours. Hire a 6-person gozzo from Marina Grande for €350 split four ways. It's the right way to see Capri.
