Procida, the 6 most beautiful beaches on the island

One of the most beautiful beaches of Procida is the small but panoramic beach of La Lingua. Located in the Marina of Marina Grande, it is a pebble beach, unlike the other beaches of the island, which are characterised by thick and dark sand. Althought it is very close to the port, it has not lost its naturalistic and somewhat “wild” charm, thanks to the green rocky ridge that surrounds it. The water for swimming is also very clean, a little choppy and of an intense blue due to its depth. La Lingua beach overlooks the canal of Procida, right in front of the Monte di Procida, a passage for the sea traffic coming from the mainland.

How to get there

La Lingua beach can be reached by taking Via Roma, the main street of Marina Grande, to the end. Another way to get to this beach is to go down along the rocky ridge starting from the end of via Bartolomeo Pagano, one of the crossroads that you will find on the left going up to Terra Murata.

It is certainly one of the most famous beaches of Procida and one of the most visited by tourists. Made famous by Massimo Troisi, who chose it as the setting for some unforgettable scenes in his film, it was renamed Postino Beach after its success. It is situated in a sheltered basin below the town cemetery, shaded in the morning and in full sun in the afternoon.

Like the best beaches of Procida, the water is blue and crystal clear and the sand is black and thick. It is mostly a free beach, but there is also a small bathing establishment which hires out sunbeds and umbrellas and has a colourful kiosk. When the sea is rough, seaweed can appear, but in this case, if you swim away from the shore, you will be immersed in clear, blue water. Admire the contrast between the sea, the beach and the cliffs, the landscape here has the splendid and wild look so typical of the island of Procida.

How to get there

The bay of Pozzo Vecchio or Postino beach can be reached by going down the road that runs alongside the cemetery. It is about 20 minute walk from La Caravella Resort and less then 10 minute walk from Ciraccio Resort. It is also very easy to get there by bus on the C1 line, getting off at the Pozzo Vecchio stop.

This is Procida's longest beach, bordered by the large stacks that separate it from Ciraccio beach. In the afternoon the mistral often blows, and here too the sun shines all day, plunging into the sea before your very eyes.

Watching the sunset while sipping a cool drink at one of the many kiosks in the area is a moment not to be missed when visiting Procida's most beautiful beaches. In addition to excellent catering services, there are many bathing establishments, making this beach ideal for a family holiday in Procida.

How to get there

Chiaiolella beach is about a 20-minute walk from Camp La Caravella, while from Camp Ciraccio follow the shoreline and after about 200 metres you will reach the stacks separating the two beaches.
