Punta Campanella Marks a Spectacular Transition

At the very tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula lies Punta Campanella, one of the most significant natural landmarks in the whole area and a highlight of many tours from Sorrento.

Where two gulfs meet

Punta Campanella marks the point where the Gulf of Naples gives way to the Gulf of Salerno, with Capri lying just across the strait. It is a protected marine area of clear water, rugged cliffs and ancient watchtowers, and rounding it feels like passing through a natural gateway from one landscape into another, from the bay toward the Amalfi Coast.

A turning point in the day

For itineraries heading toward Capri or the Amalfi Coast, this is the moment the scenery shifts and the open sea opens up ahead.

Punta Campanella features on longer routes from our Tours from Sorrento page, such as the Amalfi Coast and Capri tour.
