Atrani Beach

Ten minutes through a tunnel from Amalfi, and the pebbles want shoes.

The hang

Atrani's beach sits directly below the village, separated from the houses only by a narrow road. From Amalfi a short pedestrian tunnel gets you there in under ten minutes. It is small, we measured 131 metres, and mostly pebbly, so water shoes help; there are free areas and lidos, and in 2022 two chairs and an umbrella cost €40 for the day. Outside the main summer season the beach clubs close. One guide calls it probably the only sand on the Amalfi coast. Another says pebbles. We print both.

The real intel

Best months · warmest sea
July (27.1 °C), then August and September. Coolest: February (15.3 °C). One year of data, 2025.
Best months · emptiest
Outside the main summer season, when the beach clubs are closed and services are limited.
Getting there
From Amalfi, a short pedestrian tunnel; the walk takes less than 10 minutes.
Cost reality
In 2022, two beach chairs with an umbrella cost €40 for the day. No newer price on record.
The catch nobody tells you
The pebbles make getting in uncomfortable without water shoes.
