Beach lounging

Beach lounging is a popular activity in the Amalfi Coast. Either soak up the Italian sun or venture into the ocean for a swim. You can book a lounger or sunbed on the beach. There is a private section that you’ll need to pay for or go into the less luxurious free public section. Be quick though, the best spots paid or free don’t last long!
