Fornillo Beach : info and guided tour

Overview of Fornillo Beach

Fornillo Beach is one of the best-known beaches in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Set away from the busiest part of the town center, it offers a calmer atmosphere than the main beach. Its shoreline combines dark pebbles and clear water, in a setting that is typically Mediterranean.

Reachable on foot from Positano, the beach is appreciated for its views of the cliffs and the colorful houses overlooking the bay. It is not a monumental site in the classic sense, but an iconic spot on the local coastline, where you can still find the simple seaside architecture of the small establishments set right by the water.

Fornillo Beach is especially known for its peaceful setting and for an atmosphere closely tied to Positano’s maritime way of life. Here you will find a rugged coastline, waters ideal for swimming, and a series of small facilities that complement the beach without breaking up the landscape. This harmony is what makes it such a sought-after place.
