Swim at the foot of the dramatic Faraglioni

  1. Swim beneath Capri's iconic Faraglioni
  2. Bask in the sun on a soft beach mattress
  3. Sip their famed sangria

In the shadow of the Faraglioni, within steps of the crystal clear water lapping Capri's legendary sea stacks, there's a truly magical place: Fontelina.

One of the most beautiful beach clubs in the whole of Italy, Fontelina has been run with the same passion and enthusiasm for more than 50 years, by the Arcucci and Gargiulo families.

Book a day by the sea at Fontelina and you can expect to spend hours of blissful relaxation, bathing in the sun on one of the beach club's white linen mattresses, on the rocks, within millimeters of the sea!

To make your day at the foot of the Faraglioni even more unforgettable, you can lunch at Fontelina's highly acclaimed restaurant, savoring delicious local specialties prepared with the island's abundant fish and seafood.

The restaurant is one of the most popular on Capri and, especially if you're coming in the height of summer, you'll want to book your table as soon as you arrive on the island.

Ciao friends, the beach club is a must if you have the time. Make your reservation online well in advance (pro-tip: save your email confirmation, as we were greeted with a little skepticism), but we got in nonetheless. A reservation for the restaurant was required at time of online booking. At time of booking a credit card is required, but you won’t be charged for your beach club seats, drinks, amenities, and food until you check out of the restaurant. Total for the beach club, two espressos, an umbrella, two cokes, and food at the restaurant was about $300 USD. That said, we hiked down and arrived at 9:30am (literally the first ones there), and we were seated in the middle near the water, real nice view. I asked if we could move up a bit but apparently those seats were reserved for people who booked multiple days in a row. Views of the Faraglioni Rocks were INCREDIBLE!! The ocean is accessible by ladder and it felt amazing. Another pro- tip: bring your own towel if you want to save 14 euro per towel. All-in-all, we’d go again for sure. View: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Customer service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
