About the beach
Spiaggia di Capitiello, within Massa Lubrense (the province of Naples, Campania), is a beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces south (184°). It is most sheltered when the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
