The beach of Marina di Praia beach is located between Positano and Amalfi, where the water is a deep blue color.
In ancient times, Marina di Praia used to be the core of the activities of the village, the place where people built boats, fishing nets and prepared cured fish. Marina di Praia was also the landing place for ships that loaded wood brought from Agerola, by way of an aerial ropeway, to sell it on the shores of Africa.
Today the beach mostly thrives with tourist activities: the Centro Sub Costiera Amalfitano diving center, boat excursions, sun beds and umbrella rentals, bars, and the well-known night club 'The Africana'.
You will be able to reach the beach of Marina di Praia from Praiano or Positano using the local bus service (or enjoying a beautiful walk, maybe with the option to use the bus for the trip back up).
Getting around
We highly advise you to rent a car as it is the cheapest way to travel the Amalfi Coast. Taxis are very expensive and must be booked in advance and busses do fill up in the summer and may not be as reliable as your home towns. There are water taxis available at the Marina if you would like to travel by sea or take a trip to Capri.
Michelina will arrange a pickup for you to the local supermarket upon arrival.
