La Palombara

La Palombara is a beach along the Sorrentine Peninsula coastline with sandy areas and rocky sections facing the Bay of Naples. The shoreline stretches across several kilometers with various access points and differing beach types.

Castellammare di Stabia was a favored vacation spot for Roman emperors in ancient times and contained multiple villas of wealthy residents. After Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the area was buried and later rebuilt.

The area around this beach holds several restaurants where visitors taste local seafood and traditional Campania dishes. Locals and travelers gather here to enjoy the regional food culture.

The beach offers rental services for chairs and umbrellas with lifeguards supervising swimming during the summer season from June through September. Visitors should arrive early, especially during peak times, to secure good spots.

The beach offers direct views of Mount Vesuvius across the water, making it a special vantage point for viewing the volcano from a safe distance. Several Roman-era archaeological sites are within walking distance from the shore.
