Santa Croce

Santa Croce is a narrow inlet between Amalfi and Conca dei Marini, closed off by cliffs and best known for the natural rock arch just offshore. There is no path down from the coast road, so visitors depend on the shuttle boats that run from Amalfi in the summer months. The establishment on the cove combines a simple restaurant terrace with a small equipped area of sunbeds and umbrellas on the stones. Water depth increases quickly, so it suits swimmers rather than small children. The setting is a working cove rather than a resort, with limited facilities beyond the restaurant. Everything shuts outside the summer season.
