Ciao Amalfi

Amalfi Coast, Atrani, Beaches, Costiera Amalfitana · August 3, 2009

Hitting the Beach in Atrani

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Atrani Beach

 

Ever since jumping on the boat for the Sant’Antonio procession and seeing the festival for Santa Maria Maddalena in Atrani, I have been wanting to visit this city’s charming little beach. I’m not even sure why I haven’t ever been swimming there before, but last Saturday morning I decided that should change. Hoping to avoid some of the summer chaos in Amalfi just next door, I jumped off the bus in Atrani instead and found the beach quite peaceful and relaxing.

The more time I spend in Atrani, the more I enjoy this little city for it’s beauty, quiet setting and friendly people. While there are an abundance of beach chairs for a reasonable price, I took advantage of the soft, black sand beach (yes . . . sand!) and nestled down next to this charming and colorful fishing boat.

The lifeguard was nearby with a striking red umbrella. I enjoyed watching the boats going back and forth connecting the Amalfi Coast with Salerno.

You  just can’t beat the views of the Collegiata di S. Maria Maddalena from the beach where I was sitting!

Now that I’ve been to the beach in Atrani, I know I will certainly be going back again soon. It was a beautiful and relaxing day! If you are visiting the Amalfi Coast and staying in Amalfi or Ravello nearby, stop by Atrani for a lovely day and a bit of an escape from the summer crowds.

    Beautiful! We are moving to Sicily in a few days and seeing this makes me even more excited to finally get to Italy. Hope the rest of August is equally as enjoyable as your recent trip to the beach.

    OK, so why did you cut the lifeguard out of the red umbrella shot? It is the south of Italy, afterall. LOL

    I think I've been spoiled by the beaches in Italy. I just can't imagine going to a beach here…it's just not breathtakingly gorgeous like the ones on the coast of Italy. It's just not the same.

    Ciao Dim Sum, Bagels, and Crawfish! Welcome to Italy! I think by the time you read this that you will have arrived in Sicily. How exciting! I look forward to reading about it on your lovely blog. Buon agosto anche a te! 🙂

    Ciao Lisa! Let's just say I cut out the lifeguard because, well, she left a lot to be desired. 🙂

    Ciao LuLu! I agree… the beaches here do tend to spoil a person. I hope you will be back here in southern Italy soon!

Even within the private terraced gardens, it’s remarkably secluded. Walking through the gardens, I couldn’t imagine the great good fortune of being able to write and create here as Gore Vidal did for over 30 years. This is a place that certainly inspires!

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
