Spiaggia di Castiglione, Sandy beach in Atrani, Italy
Spiaggia di Castiglione is a beach in Atrani on the Amalfi Coast with both public and private sections. The central part offers rentals for loungers and umbrellas, while the outer areas provide free access to the water.
The beach served as a natural harbor for fishing boats since medieval times and held importance in the Amalfi Coast's maritime past. That connection between the village and the sea remains visible today.
The beach lies in the small village of Castiglione, part of the comune of Atrani, on the Amalfi Coast in the province of Salerno, Campania. It sits about 230 km southeast of Rome, on the Tyrrhenian shore south of the Amalfi peninsula.
The beach lies in the Castiglione cove just east of Atrani, reached on foot along the coastal road from the village or from Amalfi. The shore is a mix of sand and pebbles, so water shoes help; the central stretch is taken by rented loungers, with free access at the edges.
The water here stays pleasantly warm year-round thanks to specific sea currents that flow through this part of the Mediterranean. This makes the cove a comfortable place to swim even outside the warmest months.
