The chic resort of Positano has two beaches; my favourite, and much admired by artists, is the picturesque Fornillo beach. Well organised with sunloungers, it’s perfect if you don’t want to leave town but still want to enjoy the clear waters of the Amalfi Coast.
Not far from Positano and close to the pretty village of Praiano is Marina di Praia. Surrounded by high cliffs, this small, secluded seaside village is easily overlooked if you miss the small turning. The pebbly beach of this pretty cove is lined with colourful fishing boats and fishermen’s nets, just like the Amalfi Coast I was so familiar with as a child. With the addition of cafés and restaurants, this makes a perfect spot for soaking up the sun, swimming in the crystalline sea and catching up on some much-needed relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.
Of course, I couldn’t possibly ignore the beach of my home village, Minori. Perfect for families, the clean, well-organised beach makes a great base for taking boat trips to Amalfi or Salerno, or you can hire your own boat and explore the quiet hidden coves for a relaxing swim like I always do when I go back. During the summer months, a beach side spa has recently opened, so I’m really looking forward to enjoying a bit of pampering on my next visit.
Known for its wide, sandy beaches, this extension to the Amalfi Coast is a favourite with local Italian families.

These undiscovered southern regions have beautiful coastlines, with sheer cliffs rising dramatically above rocky coves, charming sleepy seaside resorts and clear, warm waters.

I just love the Aeolian Islands for their simplicity, but incredible beauty. Spiaggia Bianca in Lipari and Spiaggia Rinella in Salina are my favourites, on two stunning islands.
