The view of the cliffs and colorful houses adds a typically Mediterranean charm.

With its crystal-clear waters, polished pebbles and breathtaking cliffs, it offers a breathtaking view of the Torre Saracena and the emblematic <strong>Faraglioni di Capri<\/strong>. Allow 1 hour&#8217;s walk from Capri.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spot is particularly popular for<strong> photos<\/strong>: sculpted rocks, turquoise water, passing boats. If you&#8217;re sleeping on the island, this is a must-see beach for early-morning sunbathing.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f4a1; In summer, go early in the morning to find a place to put your towel.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"557c8b\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #557c8b;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"892\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79361 has-transparency\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-2.png 892w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-2-400x214.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bagni_di_Tiberio\"><\/span>Bagni di Tiberio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North-west of Capri, <strong>the private beach of<\/strong> <strong>Bagni di Tiberio<\/strong> combines pebbles, sand and crystal-clear water in an environment dotted with Mediterranean vegetation. The area is renowned for its peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained facilities, perfect for spending a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of the port. A 1-hour walk from Anacapri.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This beach is also a good alternative if Marina Grande is too busy, or if you prefer a <strong>quieter, unspoilt<\/strong> spot that&#8217;s still close to the center.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagnitiberio.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bagnitiberio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Private beach<\/a> with restaurant and transfer from Marina Grande in Capri<\/em> (access approx. \u20ac15)<\/p>\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/availability.frame\" data-gyg-tour-id=\"151652\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"fr-FR\" data-gyg-currency=\"EUR\" data-gyg-widget=\"availability\" data-gyg-variant=\"horizontal\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"0LXQSML\" data-gyg-cmp=\"plagescapriwidget1\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beach_of_the_lighthouse_of_Punta_Carena\"><\/span>Beach of the lighthouse of Punta Carena<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the south-west coast, <strong>the private cove of Punta Carena <\/strong>is one of Capri&#8217;s wildest spots, particularly famous for its sunsets. Less crowded than Marina Piccola or Marina Grande, its deep, crystal-clear waters will appeal to snorkelers. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get there, follow the road to the lighthouse and park in the parking lot. A path leads down to the <strong>restaurant and bar<\/strong>. There are several platforms along the shore where you can lay your towel before climbing up the steps to the sea.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Private beach &#8211; car and boat access<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_must-do_activity_with_swimming\"><\/span>A must-do activity with swimming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discover Capri from the sea, we highly recommend <strong>this two-hour cruise<\/strong> with swimming.
