Procida, the 6 most beautiful beaches on the island
We want to reveal a secret: in Procida the sea is beautiful and, if you come to visit us, you can choose from 6 different beaches, moving from one to the other depending on the light and the wind.
The island of Procida, easy to get to from Naples, is the lesser known, little sister of nearby Capri and Ischia and although recently the images of the pastel-coloured houses have been seen on tv and the internet because of the allocation of the island as Italian Capital of Culture 2022.
If the best-known image of the island is that of Corricella, together with some scenes from films such as Il Postino or The Talent of Mr. Ripley, not everyone knows its beaches.
We want to reveal a secret: in Procida the sea is beautiful and, if you come to visit us, you can choose from 6 different beaches, moving from one to the other depending on the light and the wind.
Chiaia Beach
Chiaia beach is the most central beach, but at the same time also the most “isolated”. It’s a few minutes from our resort and is the one we recommend to our guests in the morning as it is the first beach to get shaded. In fact, the sun sets on the opposite side of the island.
This little paradise is largely free beach. There is only one beach with a restaurant called “La Conchiglia”,. The beach can be reached in two ways: by foot or by sea. On foot you can reach it by taking 186 steps down an alley that starts from Piazza Olmo, or through Via dei Bagni from Piazza San Giacomo. The panorama is the most beautiful of Procida: on the right side you can see the rock ridge on which some houses with typical island architecture stand, on the left side the port of Corricella, a small marine setting made of coloured houses set between the rock and the hill on which Terra Murata stands, the oldest nucleus of Procida. While in front of it the absolute protagonist is the very blue sea, from which Vesuvius can also be seen.
La Lingua Beach
Among 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 on the island, which is characterized by thick and dark sand. Despite being very close to the port, it has not lost its naturalistic and somewhat “wild” charm, thanks to the rocky ridge covered with green that surrounds it. Even the water to swim in is very clean, slightly choppier and of an intense blue due to higher depths. La Lingua beach, in fact, overlooks the Procida canal, right in front of the Monte di Procida, a pass way point for maritime traffic coming from the mainland. 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 the descent via a route that descends along the rocky ridge starting from the end of via Bartolomeo Pagano, one of the crossroads that you meet on the left going up to Terra Murata.
Silurenza Beach
Close to the port of Marina Grande, in via Roma on the Grotte side, there is the beautiful Silurenza beach. Convenient and easily reachable on foot along via Roma, Silurenza is the ideal beach for families with children. There is a toilet and a bar-restaurant a few meters from the beach.
