Basking In The Beauty At Fontelina Beach


Everything about Capri is heart-stoppingly beautiful!  Whether
on land or sea or even at the edge of the sea there is beauty to
 behold at every corner.  And, just a short distance from the astounding
 Faraglioni, the three dramatic rock formations that shoot out of 
the sea, is the infamous Fontelina Beach.  This is the best beach
 club on the island and is within sight of these majestic and towering rocks.

Finding your way there is easy with these beautiful hand-painted
tiles that show you the way down Via Tragara just past the
  main part of town.  






You will descend down a steep walking path to get to the
beach or you may arrive by boat.  However, walking
down all of those steps and catching tiny glimpses of 
the view only entices you to want to see more of 
what lies there at the foot of the Faraglioni. 














































The restaurant at Fontelina Beach is nestled into
  the rock face under a thatched pergola and serves
incredible Italian and seafood.  Combine that with a 
 beautiful glass of wine and you will find yourself
wondering why you haven't gotten here before and 
why you would ever want to leave.




You will need to make reservations by calling 
+39 081 8370845.












Sadly, the day will pass much too quickly and it will
be time to leave Fontelina Beach.  The beach club and
restaurant are only open in the evenings for private events. 




If your dingy is not there to take you back to your yacht,
then plan to take a shuttle boat over to Marina Piccola
as it is a mighty stiff walk up all of those steps you
walked down earlier in the day.  Shuttle boats conveniently
leave every 30 minutes from Fontelina Beach to 
Marina Piccola or you can call to arrange a taxi boat.




You not only leave Fontelina Beach but you leave
a piece of you that beckons you to return.
