About the beach
In the municipality of Positano, in the province of Salerno (Campania), San Pietro is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: southwest (203°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N), keeps it calm; the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
