Spiaggia Libera di Marina Grande

Drop anchor off Marina Grande and you're right in front of Capri's busiest, most spacious beach — a rare stretch of pebbly shore backed by colourful fishing boats and the island's main port village. The water is clear and the vibe is lively and local, with beach bars and families making the most of the sun, which hits this north-facing bay all the way until sunset — something almost no other beach on the island can claim. It's a great spot to swim ashore and explore the waterfront on foot.
