Marina di Albori is a hidden pebble cove below the tiny hamlet of Albori, perched on the hillside between Vietri and Cetara. About 150 steps descend from the road through lemon groves to a wild beach with no facilities and no crowds. The cove faces west and is shaded by the cliff in the morning: the sun arrives around midday and stays until sunset. The water is deep and clean, and the isolation means you will likely share it with no more than a handful of locals. This is not a beach for comfort seekers: no shade rentals, no bar, no lifeguard. It is a beach for people who want to feel the coast as it was fifty years ago.
The tip
Come after 13:00 when the sun clears the cliff. Bring everything you need — water, food, shade. The walk down through the lemon terraces is beautiful in itself. Not suitable for small children due to the steep access and deep water.
Getting There
