Agerola Beaches

Agerola offers a unique perspective for a beach holiday on the Amalfi Coast. Perched high in the Lattari Mountains, it is not a typical seaside town, but a serene and scenic base for exploration. Visitors choose Agerola for its cooler air, incredible views, and authentic village atmosphere, away from the coastal crowds. Reaching the celebrated shoreline requires a scenic bus ride down to the sea or, for the more adventurous, a hike down ancient stairways.

The coastline accessible from Agerola is famous for its dramatic cliffs and pebbly shores, not vast sandy beaches. This creates a variety of stunning swimming spots, each with its own character. For a traditional beach day on a rare stretch of sand, ideal for families, there is Spiaggia di Maiori. The most direct and bustling hub to reach from Agerola is Marina Grande, Amalfi, the final stop for the local bus. For a more intimate setting, seek out the charming hidden cove of Marina di Praia, or descend the many steps to Arienzo Beach for its rewarding views and clear water.

Beyond these picks, the coast is full of iconic sights like the stunning inlet at Fiordo di Furore, one of the most photographed spots in the region. A legendary day trip can also take you to the island of Capri to experience Spiaggia di Marina Piccola. Agerola provides the perfect starting point for discovering these and many other seaside gems.
