You step off the boat into a small harbor where limestone cliffs pull the sea into bright turquoise bowls; the water seems to beckon you toward Santa Croce while the cathedral bells of Amalfi fade behind.
Begin with an hour of free time in Amalfi’s historic center: the 11th-century Duomo di Sant'Andrea frames a busy piazza, stairwells and alleys open onto lemon-scented lanes, and old maritime buildings remind you this town was once a Mediterranean republic. The coastline here is carved from Miocene limestone—steep faces dropped into the sea—so boat access reveals caves and pebbled coves unreachable by road.
After exploring, a private transfer and round-trip boat ride deliver you to Santa Croce Beach, an exclusive coastal cove accessible only by sea. Expect sunbeds and umbrellas on a small pebbled shore, a beach restaurant serving a seated lunch, and clear water that invites swimming and easy snorkeling near rocky outcrops. The cliffs keep the breeze steady; the sea pushes and pulls with a gentle, tactile presence.
Practical side: the full experience runs about six hours, suitable for most fitness levels. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes for the pebbled beach, and a light layer for the ride back. Boat landings can be uneven, so step carefully. If you’re staying in Positano, the included private transfer simplifies logistics—an efficient way to combine quick cultural time in Amalfi with a relaxing, sheltered beach day on the coast.
