Marina Piccola, located on the southern coast of Capri, is one of the island’s most picturesque and beloved spots. Nestled in a sheltered bay beneath the towering cliffs of Monte Solaro, this charming marina is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and stunning views of the iconic Faraglioni rock formations. Its location offers protection from the wind, making it a perfect place for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing by the sea. Marina Piccola has been a favorite destination since Roman times, and it continues to attract visitors with its beauty and tranquil atmosphere.

The small pebble beaches of Marina Piccola, such as Spiaggia di Marina Piccola and Spiaggia delle Sirene, offer visitors a chance to enjoy Capri’s clear waters and scenic surroundings. The beaches are dotted with private beach clubs, where sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented for the day. A nearby promenade is lined with cafés and restaurants serving fresh seafood and local delicacies, making it a popular spot for enjoying a meal while taking in the stunning coastal views. The combination of beachside relaxation and Capri’s natural beauty make Marina Piccola a perfect escape from the busier parts of the island.

Access to Marina Piccola can be reached by either taking a scenic bus ride from Capri Town or descending on foot via a picturesque path known as the Via Krupp (when open). The area is less crowded than the main port of Marina Grande, making it a more serene and intimate setting. With its rich history, peaceful ambiance, and breathtaking views, Marina Piccola is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the natural splendor and allure of Capri’s southern coast.
