Marina Piccola, Capri

Capri, Napoli · 80073

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

About Marina Piccola, Capri

Capri's small south-coast harbour beach looks out to the Faraglioni rocks. The glass collects in the stones and nooks under the bathing-establishment decks rather than on the open shingle. In summer it is crowded, so spring or autumn is better.

Sea glass at Marina Piccola, Capri

Small to medium pieces; one collector filled two handfuls in one stop.

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 follow the collecting rules above.
