- Karim MaaroufCairo, Egypt892 contributionsGreat views and foodIt is called Marina Grande, but is actually quite small. I came here mostly in the evening since there are a few seafood restaurants. The ones we tried were excellent. The views are also quite nice. Definitely worth stopping by here.Visited August 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 21, 2023
- Nikki BWatford, United Kingdom670 contributionsPicturesque view over the Grande MarinaIt’s a very small stretch of beach with boats bobbing up and down it it. It’s very picturesque and we loved sitting outside at one of the local restaurants drinking a limoncello spritz and a beer for my husband. The sun was shining and you can while away the time with this beautiful view. It was one of my favourite things to do.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 26, 2023
- Norm the NomadAustralia1,246 contributionsVery authentic. Worth a walk.We went down to the old fishing village (“Marina Grande”) which is about a 10 min walk from Sorrento township. It was terrific. We watched the locals setting up their fishing nets / bustling around their shops / generally preparing for the day. Very authentic.Visited December 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten November 8, 2023

Absolutely gorgeous location and views of the Amalfi bay. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable about local wines and the menu - offering excellent opinions and recommendations. The seafood dishes were wonderful and well prepared. Highly recommend!

People on here are still getting their marinas in a twist! This is not the port from where the ferries depart, it's at the other end of town. It's a pleasant walk from Sorrento centre through narrow streets with views across the bay here and there, down a fairly steep slope and into the marina itself. There is a bus service to and from Piazza Tasso if you don't fancy the walk. There are several bars and resturants (our favourite being Portamarina), a couple of shops, several bagni and a small public beach which is free to use, you only pay for sunbeds/chairs and parasols. It's a genuine fishing port and you can see the catch being landed each evening. There are also several places offering paddleboarding, diving and boat trips. It's our favourite part of the town and we strongly recommend that you don't miss it.

There are a multitude of avenues to explore her. It is awash with highly regarded restaurants, both high end and local favourites. The views are incredible and worth the effort as there are lots of steps to negotiate on the journey.
There is a steep incline to work through on the return leg so comfy shoes are recommended.
We dined in Soul & Fish (see seperate review) and I highly recommend it.
Evening time is the best time to visit, I would suggest timing your visit with the setting of the sun, spectacular!!

To get down to the marina or beach area you can use the lift or you can just walk down, which take about 5 mins or so and is quite a nice walk and you go through the rock near the top. At the bottom you can hire loungers on the purpose built up pontoons or there is a tiny little bit of sand that you can go on! You walk down to the marina which is where you pick up the ferry & hydroflow to Capri etc and obviously where there are some really lovely boats. You can also get a bus or a taxi or if you have a car or moped you can get down this way. It is really quite nice to go and wander down here and there are numerous eating places etc.

My husband & I were on vacation to Sorrento to celebrate my birthday and on each visit we like to leisurely stroll down to Marina Grande.
On this visit we got to visit the church along the walk way...Chiesa di Sant'Anna.
There are a lot of shops, restaurants with inside and outside dining options and fishing going on at this Marina.
It is also a site to behold at the various hotels along the hillside with paths leading up to them from the Marina.
There are also great views during the day and especially in evening when dining of across the bay of Mt. Vesuvius.
It is always an easy stroll down to the Marina but take your time to climb your way back up to the main center of Sorrento.
Be careful on this walk, since areas are uneven and lots of different pavements and winding corners.

I have to admit that we didnt like Sorrento very much - for such a small town, it has so much traffic and is so loud and noisy. A really pleasant suprise therefore was for us the Marina Grande. A haven of peace in this otherwise so noisy city. A fishing port, a small beach, almost no traffic, local restaurants. Steps and narrow streets leading down to it, and there, several nice little restaurants serving fish and seafood.

We spent our last day in Sorrento just sitting on the beach reading, drinking, and occasionally swimming. I'm kind of a stickler for cleanliness, so here's my biggest complaint: the garbage. The Bay of Naples is absolutely strewn with trash, and the small beach here in Sorrento really isn't any different. I cannot tell you how much plastic I pulled out of the water while swimming back and forth. Italy is the most beautiful place on Earth, but I really wish the people here took more pride in the waters surrounding their home.
Nevertheless, you're in a beautiful place surrounded by great food and drink, so....take the good with the bad and eat and drink your fill!

This bustling harbour is the hub for numerous ferry trips from Sorrento including Naples. Capri, and Amalfi. Constantly busy with taxis and buses and numerous ticket office4s for the various destinations. Fascinating to sit, drink and watch.

One of the most beautiful and characteristic places in Sorrento, which is ruined by the excessive presence of restaurants where, in truth, the food is good, but which when placed next to each other leave little space for the many people present. The worst part, however, is the small free beach that is there which is very dirty and full of cigarette butts. It is true that people are not very attentive and civilized but the municipal administration should provide daily cleaning as is done in other tourist places. After all, the tourist tax is paid handsomely by tourists.

Directions from Tasso to marina grande
Written September 11, 2023
From Pizza Tasso, go down Via S. Francesco, past the Villa Communale, to the park in front of the Hotel Contential.
There is a road that goes down on the right side of the hotel and that will lead you down to the Marina.
It is a lot to see down there...go & enjoy!!

Walk from piazza Tasso to Marina Grande
Hello I have visited Sorrento twice but never been to Marina Grande. We want to go to Ristorante Bagni Delfino - can anybody tell me the best way to walk from Piazza Tasso in the evening? Thank you
Written March 27, 2018
Hello there, from the Piazza Tasso you can either walk along Corso Italia (the main road) or down 'the drains' Via. S. Cesareo and Via Fuoro. At the end if the drains you will see a few paths that lead down to the Marina Grande. Further along just passed the hospital on the right there is also a road (via de mare) down to the Marina. The road maybe an easier walk however beware of traffic. Otherwise get a taxi. Hotels may be able to provide you with a map which would help.

Are there local boats that make trips to the Amalfi coast and Positano,and what is the cost?we are visiting in December. Is it worth visiting the Blue Grotto in winter?
Written August 26, 2017
We have just come back from Sorrento. They do boat trips to capri all year round, weather permitting and when you are on the boat they offer you an add on if you want a tour or see the blue grotto. It was about 20e each way for the boat to Capri and then about 40e for the tour and blue grotto. other blue grotto boats are in Capri so might be able to get it cheaper. We couldn't find a boat from sorrento to anywhere else( We wanted to go to positano) and were told they only operate up to mid October. There are private tour companies that might do it though but more costly. We went to positano by bus and was very easy. for 8€ you can get a day ticket and you can make unlimited journies to Amalfi coast, what ever towns you want to go too. This leaves from outside the station. We got to positano in under an hour and the journey was really interesting and you got to see all the sights.

I've read in a review that there is a lift from the marina to the top so one can avoid the walk ,at a cost of 1 euro . is this true?
Written August 26, 2017
Hi. Yes the Villa Communale is where you will find the Lift. single trip costs 1 euro but you can also buy a return ticket for 1.80. But first enjoy the beautiful views! Have wonderful trip

Donde hay una playa para disfrutar el baño en el mar?
Written July 30, 2017
There are some places near the marina to swim. But there are no classic beaches with sand because it´s a coastal cliff.
You can book a trip to Ischia. There ist the famous Marontio Beach.

how do you make dinner reservations? I can't seem to find any email or phone
Written April 8, 2017
Hi, sorry not answer before. Normally I look up the restaurant e-mail addresses. Then I send an e-mail asking for a booking. Important to do this many weeks before. When we get in contact it is easy to make a reservation.
Best regards
