First things first: if you're looking for great stretches of soft golden sand on Italy's island of Capri, you've come to the wrong place! Here the tiny beaches are just a few square meters of pebbles and small platforms positioned between the rocks on the water's edge.
Capri's beaches are minuscule coves tucked between the cliffs with beach clubs offering loungers, umbrellas, and cafès, or public areas with rocks from which swimmers dive directly into the crystalline water.
How much does a day on one of Capri's beaches cost?
On average, the entrance fee with use of a sun lounger in one of the island's private beach clubs is EUR 30. The cost of hiring a beach umbrella is not included. Most beach clubs require you to hava a lunch at the restaurant or make a purchase at their bar, so the total cost per person rarely dips below 70-80 Euros for the day. Reservation is alwasy required and it can dona on the web-site.

Beaches in Marina Grande
Beaches in Marina Grande
Marina Grande boasts the biggest beach on the island, right next to the harbor where the ferries dock. Despite the vicinity to the port, the water is always incredibly clean. The sun leaves the beach mid-afternoon. The free beach is located in the vicinity of the ferry ticket offices. Boats taking passengers to the Bagni di Tiberio beach club depart from here regularly.

Beaches in Marina Piccola
The beaches in Marina Piccola are the most glamorous of all those on the island. You can easily reach the bay on foot by walking down Via Mulo (the road begins at "Due Golfi" at the end of Via Roma). The Faraglioni lie within easy swimming distance. The only downside is that the sun leaves the bay early in the afternoon. There are two public beaches, one on either side of the Siren's rock.

From the Punta Tragara viewing point, a narrow trail leads down to the rocks at the foot of the Faraglioni. Here there are two private beach clubs La Fontelina e Da Luigi ai Faraglioni, each of which has a highly acclaimed restaurant, where you can spend a leisurely day by the sea. Don't worry about having to make the uphill return journey: both clubs operate a shuttle boat service to Marina Piccola.

Anacapri's lighthouse is the islanders' favorite beach. This little bay beneath the island's lighthouse is the only place to warmed by the sun from early morning until late in the afternoon, when it sets in a spectacular display of red, yellow, and pink over the water.
