Punta Carena — Capri's wild side
The lighthouse at the southwest tip, the only beach club on the wild coast, the sunset side of the island.
Getting there + what's there
Bus from Anacapri (15 minutes, last stop) or 45-minute walk along the panoramic road. The bus drops you at the lighthouse; the small beach club Lido del Faro has a saltwater pool and serves lunch.
Stay until 18:00 for sunset. No bus back after 20:30 — check timings.

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.
