At 930 meters, Maiori has the longest beach on the Amalfi Coast — and it is the only one where you can reliably find space even in mid-August. The sand is fine and dark volcanic, sloping gently into calm water that stays shallow for a good distance. The lungomare behind it is lined with gelaterias, pizzerias, and bars — more affordable than anywhere west of here. Beach clubs with full service alternate with generous free sections. Families dominate: this is where Neapolitans and Salernitani bring their kids for the summer. The beach faces south-southeast and catches sun from sunrise to sunset with no cliff shadows. It is not glamorous, but it is comfortable, spacious, and genuinely Italian.
SITA bus terminal in town (1 min walk). Ample parking along lungomare and side streets. Ferry from Amalfi (seasonal).
Walk to the far eastern end for the quietest section and the clearest water. The weekly market every Tuesday morning along the lungomare is excellent for local produce and cheap beach gear.
