- Swimming toward the Faraglioni — The beach sits directly opposite Capri’s famous rock stacks, so you can paddle out and get eye-level photos and a different perspective than from the town. The water is usually crystal-clear here, and that close-up swim is a proper Capri moment — my personal favorite.
- Cliff terraces and pebble coves — Instead of a long flat strip of sand you get small, sheltered pockets and natural rock sunbeds carved into the tuff; it feels intimate even on busy days. Perfect for staking out a spot, napping with the waves on the rocks, or escaping a bit of the tourist crush.
- Short skiff rides and coves hopping — The tiny marina makes it easy to jump on a short boat to skirt the island’s southern coast, peek under sea arches, or explore hidden beaches that are unreachable

- Short skiff rides and coves hopping — The tiny marina makes it easy to jump on a short boat to skirt the island’s southern coast, peek under sea arches, or explore hidden beaches that are unreachable by foot. These quick, inexpensive rides give big payoff in views and secluded swimming spots.
- Snorkeling the drop-offs and rock arches — The underwater topography here is dramatic: sheer walls, arches and rocky ledges create good snorkeling for seeing small reef fish and interesting formations. Bring your own mask and fins — rental gear is convenient but adds up — and don’t push into deep water if you’re not confident.
- Sunset silhouettes and moonlit swims — The light here is special: watch the Faraglioni rim glow at sunset from the pebble shore, stick around as the crowd thins, and you’ve got a quiet strip for stargazing or a cautious moonlit dip. Nightlife is low-key along the seafront — eating and people-watching rather than loud clubs — which keeps the evening vibe very Capri.
