Coming from the Gold Coast in Qld Australia where there are some of the world's best beaches, we were relatively disappointed with most Italian beaches. Most were stony and uninviting to sit on. This beach actually had grey rough sand and a bit stony. It looked good though from the town and from up high. You could hire umbrellas and... More

On our one and only take-it-easy day in Italy, we headed down to the Spiaggia Grande and found a quiet cove where we shared the rocky beach with our books and an elderly lady fishing off a stone staircase. At the other end of the beach, music was blaring and people were enjoying the beautiful weather in a completely different... More

Spiaggia Grande (meaning big beach) is the place to go for fun, sun and people watching.

Came to Positano on the bus from Sorrento on Dec 31st. Beatiful warm day. Tons of folks enjoying the beach. Great gelateria right on the beach. Beautiful sunlight could have stayed for longer.

great place for a proposal, amazing beautiful and wonderful setting, brilliant locals and an amazing part of a very memorable holiday, the settings are in my heart and we will be returning there without a doubt.
