Going down the stairways that alternate with flat stretches, you arrive in Piazzetta dei Protontini, at the port of Amalfi. Near the ferry dock and close to the Lungomare dei Cavalieri.

Right in the centre, the Spiaggia Grande opens up, made of sand and small pebbles, with the pier from which boats leave for excursions and connections with other beaches. There are various bathing establishments and it is always very busy, especially by families and tourists. Behind the ancient port, still easily reachable on foot from the centre, is the less crowded Spiaggia delle Sirene, equipped and welcoming for families too. 

Along the coast there is no shortage of spectacular beaches in coves that can be reached by sea or by land, connected by stepped staircases, with a crystalline sea to be enjoyed until late afternoon. If you don't get there by sea, you have to climb 400 steps and a path of great naturalistic value to enjoy the beach of Duoglio, about a kilometer from the center to the west, after the hamlet of Lone. 

Very large, with equipped beaches and a restaurant, but also free spaces. In a ravine at the foot of the Lattari offshoot, reachable only by sea from Amalfi, lies the delightful beach of Santa Croce, with a cave that houses the remains of the now ruined chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross. There are equipped lidos. It is connected to the pebble beach of Rarone, dominated by a rock and with a natural arch known as the Arch of Lovers. 

Along the coast, a little further on, accessible only from the sea, the completely free beach of Le Marinelle is ideal for those who want to spend time in peace in contact with nature. Having turned the promontory on which the Vettica tower stands, descending a stairway that you take from the state road, you are greeted by the suggestive La Vite beach, which the westerly wind cools even in the height of summer, equipped with a lido and restaurant.
