Ask for a swimming stop near Praiano

Ask almost anyone what they remember most about a day on the Amalfi Coast and they will mention the water: that impossible blue, and the feeling of slipping into it far from any crowded beach. Around Praiano, the best swimming is a simple request away.

Coves beneath the cliffs

The shoreline here hides small, clear-water coves tucked under the rock, well away from the busy beach clubs. On a private boat you are not tied to a fixed stop — when you see water you like, you can simply ask, and the skipper will find a safe place to drop anchor.

Your skipper knows the timing

Sea and wind shift through the day, and so do the light and the traffic of other boats. A local skipper knows which corner will be calm and sheltered at that exact moment, so your swim is in the best possible spot rather than the first one you pass.

Come prepared

Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, a towel and a light cover-up for the breeze, and you are set. Masks and snorkels are worth packing too, as the water around Praiano is wonderfully clear.
