💡 Tips
- Wear water shoes, as the beach consists of large pebbles and walking barefoot can be uncomfortable.
- Book your table at the beachfront restaurants (like Maria Grazia) by phone at least a day in advance.
- Take the SITA bus from Sorrento; the drive is scenic, and parking in the village is limited and pricey.
- Bring a snorkeling mask to explore the crystal-clear waters of the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area.
- Stay for a late afternoon swim, as the beach's orientation allows for direct sunlight until late in the day.

Surrounded by towering cliffs and the lush Mediterranean maquis, this expansive pebble beach gives panoramic views over the Gulf of Salerno.

The deep, clear waters are well-suited for swimming, diving, and boat excursions. Marina del Cantone is arguably most famous for its extraordinary culinary scene. The beach is lined with renowned restaurants, some boasting Michelin stars, where visitors can savor the legendary 'Spaghetti alla Nerano', a local masterpiece made with zucchini and provolone cheese.
