Cetara - all beaches

This could be a lovely beach if it was cleaned, there's rubbish and cigarette butts and broken glass everywhere. Not safe for children to play on because of the broken glass. Also big issues with the guy who takes the money for the beach chairs, today he constantly kicked football with his friends, around the people that had paid him to lie on the sunbeds. Twice, the football struck people lying on the beach and he had his friends were aggressive when asked to stop or to move somewhere else. Avoid, there are nicer beaches in the area!!

This beach is absolutely stunning! The first row offers two chairs and an umbrella for a reasonable price of 40€. Additionally, there is a convenient snack bar located right next to the beach where you can indulge in some delicious food and refreshing drinks. For a mere 5-10€, you can enjoy a scrumptious pizza or panini, while a beer or soda will only set you back 5€. It is highly recommended to bring water shoes, as the beach can be quite rocky.

The Lido is magnificent, with lovely and accommodating staff who are friendly.

We made a lunch reservation in advance due to the busy nature of the beach. We were picked up by a complimentary boat at Amalfi Harbour and taken on a 10-minute journey to Spiaggia Santa Croce, a small cove with two restaurants. We decided to spend the whole day there, so we rented two loungers and an umbrella, which was a bit pricey at 50 euros but worth it for the day. Our loungers were in a great spot on the pontoon right by the sea, although the beach itself was quite pebbly. For lunch, we had a fantastic table on the veranda overlooking the cove, and the staff were quick and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary amuse bouche. The tuna tartar starter was simple in appearance but had excellent flavor with capers and lemon seasoning. The lobster linguini was a generous portion with a large, meaty claw. I opted for the homemade pasta with clams, mussels, and squid, one of my favorite dishes. We enjoyed a bottle of rose wine from Tremonti with our meal. After some time relaxing on the loungers and a refreshing swim, we were picked up at 5pm and taken back to Amalfi. Overall, we had a fantastic day at the beach and want to thank the staff for their hospitality.

The beach is situated in the municipality of Maiori, but it can be easily accessed from the small beach at the port of Cetara by swimming 200 meters or just 80 meters if you follow the rocks.
