"Lido del Faro is a beach club right underneath the Punta Carena lighthouse at Capri’s southwestern end, with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a saltwater pool perched right above sea level. After spending the day doing absolutely nothing, head to the restaurant for a long lunch of pasta dishes like mezzi paccheri with puréed green peppers and octopus ragù, or just order a panino straight to your beach chair. While slightly more difficult to reach, it’s considerably less chaotic than other options on the island." - gillian mcguire
