About the beach
In the municipality of Capri, in the province of Naples (Campania), Marina Piccola is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: south (158°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW), keeps it calm; the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
