Even though it is quite expensive to get a chair inside one of the clubs that have control of most of the beach, it makes sense why they charge. It has a lot of pebbles, and it is a nice service overall. The beach is fantastic and so gorgeous! The colors, the views, the temperature (a bit cold but very welcome in this heat) the black sand, and the fact that it is not as busy as the main Positano beach makes it an unique spot. Bear in mind, the prices in this brach from the beach clubs are for the well-off or rich tourists. I came prepared so it would not take me by surprise (35 euro per person), but, I promise, it is worth it.

So much better than the Arienzo tourist trap beach club! Here you will find locals and beautiful beach, public beach and also beach clubs that are half the price but still amazing vibes!!! Our favorite beach day was here. With a beautiful walk to the Beach from the town, worth it and not Too Long at all

Great alternative to the main beach, Spiaggio Positano. Smaller, quite, much more enjoyable. Excellent service, good beach restaurant for excellent lunch, drinks, etc.

A secluded beach away from the hustle and bustle of Positano but only 10mins or so walk away. Worth the visit as there is a public beach area and beach club option too. The water is lovely and has a designated swimming area. It is not as busy as the main beach in Positano so feels a bit more special. The views on the short walk are incredible too.

Crystal clear and calm beach nestled between the rocks and away from the hustle and bustle of positano. We spent the day in here, totally worth it if you want to chill and swim and read your books. I highly recommend da Ferdinando for renting the umbrella and sun bed as their food is just great as well as the service.

Nice free beach with enough space for everyone. There is also Lido where sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented but prices are very high. Also bars at the beach are super expensive - pizza Margarita 18euros.
