Fodor's Expert Review Marina Grande Beach

Amalfi's main beach stretches along the front of town and is popular with both locals and visitors. During the summer months, the beach is covered with rows of brightly colored sun beds and umbrellas, each color indicating a different swimming establishment generally associated with the restaurant overlooking the beach. The water is clear, especially in the mornings, and the swimming is good. Both ends of the beach have free areas, which are popular with locals and families. The beach has large pebbles, so if you're planning a leisurely day then renting a sun bed is recommended. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards; showers; toilets. Best for: swimming.
