More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a narrow lane and onto Positano’s stone pier as the morning light paints the houses gold. The motorboat rocks gently; the captain checks lines and calls for a headcount. From the sea the Amalfi Coast reads as a series of vertical chapters—limestone cliffs, pocket beaches, and low fishing houses clinging to terraces.

Take seasickness prevention

Pack reef-safe sunscreen

Bring a light wind layer
Even on warm days the sea breeze can get cool—carry a packable windbreaker for comfort during open-water stretches.
Confirm hotel details and contact number
Operators may ask for your Positano hotel name and mobile with country code for updates and weather alerts—have them ready when booking.
