Huge beach is the first thing you see when you arrive, with its bright umbrellas and not many people on it. Renting chairs is expensive and there's no privacy, we preferred Spiaggia del Fornillo and really Arienzo, reachable by water taxi, was the best. Small, intimate, quiet. More

Great place to catch some rays in a beautiful setting, but probably not ideal for wading. There are many restaurants and cute shops along the beach which is also an attraction. Positano is just so beautiful! More

I had a lovely time at the beach, please don't get me wrong, but this was DESPITE afew things. The beaches are black and not especially clean, and I am used to clean white sand.

There is a section roped off for residents of positano who dont have to pay and another huge section for those who want to purchase chairs. They charge by "person" not by chair, which is slightly annoying. The "free" part is around the area where the boats come in and out. The beach and water however were beautiful. More
