Spiaggia di Fornillo

Positano, Salerno · 84017

Positano's quieter pebble beach, five minutes' walk from Spiaggia Grande, where an hour at the waterline can fill a pocket.

About Spiaggia di Fornillo

The smaller and calmer of Positano's two beaches, reached on foot from Spiaggia Grande along the Via Positanesi d'America. The pebbles tumble glass well, and a local family who make jewellery from local glass comb this beach too.

Sea glass at Spiaggia di Fornillo

A good amount of white, green and amber glass along the waterline.

Visiting Spiaggia di Fornillo

Getting there
About five minutes' walk from Spiaggia Grande along the Via Positanesi d'America path.
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.

      The town beaches under Vesuvius, where decades of rubbish in the bay have left loads of sea glass in unusual colours.

      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.

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

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