Spiaggia Della Vite

Beachside dining shines at Le Bontà del Capo, a cliffside gem praised for seafood pasta and limoncello with panoramic views. La Tonnarella delivers rustic charm in a coastal cove, specializing in grilled fish and homemade pasta. For pizza with a side of authenticity, La Piazza da Nino crafts wood-fired pies near the beach. Il Refettorio offers elevated fine dining in a historic monastery setting, while the beach-adjacent Baglio Amalfi impresses with creative seafood small plates on its rooftop terrace.

Perched above the cove, Hotel Le Terrazze boasts private balconies with sea views and complimentary breakfast. Hotel Belvedere features direct beach access via stairs and a saltwater infinity pool overlooking the bay. While the search results list limited options here, nearby Praiano (15-minute drive) offers additional waterfront stays.

The beach provides essential amenities including restrooms and showers, with lounge chairs and umbrellas available for rent during peak season. Nearby restaurants offer Wi-Fi access, though the pebbled shore maintains a rustic charm without extensive commercial facilities. Visitors should bring beach towels and non-slip footwear due to the rocky terrain.

Swimming in the calm, protected waters remains the primary activity, ideal for all skill levels. Kayak exploration reveals hidden sea caves along the coastline, while boat tours depart from Amalfi’s harbor 3km away. Sunbathing on the smooth pebbles and cliffside photography capture the essence of coastal Italian leisure.

Steep stairs from coastal roads make beach access challenging for mobility-impaired visitors. Some restaurants like La Piazza da Nino offer wheelchair-friendly entrances and restrooms. Boat transfers from Amalfi’s accessible harbor provide alternative sea-level entry to the beach area.

Limited street parking exists near beach access points, though narrow coastal roads make driving challenging. Most visitors arrive via SITA bus from Amalfi or private boat transfers. Hotels often provide reserved parking for guests, while public lots in Conca dei Marini village require uphill walks to reach the beach.

Conca dei Marini once sheltered pirate ships in its natural harbor before becoming a fishing village. The beach’s vineyards (vite means 'vine') historically produced grapes for local wines. Santa Rosa pastry chefs still use a 400-year-old recipe for their legendary lemon-filled desserts.

The 17th-century Santa Rosa Monastery (1km uphill) showcases Baroque architecture and invented the iconic sfogliatella pastry. Emerald Grotto, a stunning sea cavern with underwater lighting, sits 2km west via coastal road. Hiking trails connect to the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) for breathtaking cliffside vistas.
