Positano's quieter pebble beach, five minutes' walk from Spiaggia Grande, where an hour at the waterline can fill a pocket.
About Castellammare di Stabia seafront
The free beaches along the promenade at Castellammare di Stabia, at the foot of Vesuvius on the Bay of Naples. Rubbish dumped in the bay for decades has been tumbled into sea glass, mixed with worn ceramic and terracotta tile. The sea here was only declared fit for bathing again in 2024 after a ban dating from 1973.
Sea glass at Castellammare di Stabia seafront
Plentiful glass including turquoise, blue, cobalt, purple, grey and yellow, with sea pottery. Collectors say the stretch towards Vesuvius is quieter and richer.
Visiting Castellammare di Stabia seafront
- Getting there
- Train from Napoli Garibaldi; the station is minutes from the water.
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.

Sorrento's working fishing harbour is a better bet for sea glass than the resort beaches, with very dark olive glass and wired window glass.

Spiaggia di Santa Teresa
Salerno's city beach by the commercial port, with green, white, blue and aqua glass and the odd marble. Easy by train.

A south-facing pebble bay under the Faraglioni where sea glass hides in the stones below the bathing decks. Best out of season.
