Spiaggia Torre Saracena(Saracen Tower Beach)

Torre Saracena Spiaggia Ristorante Bar anchors the beach experience with its seaside perch and Mediterranean seafood menu, though visitors often highlight the views over the cuisine[1][2]. Nearby, La Palma Beach Club (4/5★) offers live music and vegan options, while La Fontelina (4/5★) impresses with thatched-roof elegance and lobster pasta. For sunset cocktails, Hotel Weber Ambassador’s poolside bar provides a luxe backdrop, and La capannina ristorante (4.5/5★) serves time-honored Caprese recipes in a 1930s setting.

Hotel della Piccola Marina (4.5/5★) charms with bay-view pools and LGBTQ+-friendly hospitality. The opulent Grand Hotel Quisisana (4.6/5★) delivers old-world glamour with three gourmet restaurants and a spa. Hotel Weber Ambassador (4.3/5★) offers sea-facing rooms and multiple pools, while Relais Maresca (4.4/★) blends 19th-century architecture with modern infinity pools. For intimacy, Hotel La Scalinatella (4.7/5★) provides private terraces overlooking the bay.

The beach features lounger/umbrella rentals, basic restrooms, and a bar. While no changing cabins are mentioned, the stilt-house restaurant provides shaded seating. The establishment does not offer takeaway food but has a full-service bar and beach mat rentals. Boats can anchor nearby with tender service available upon request.

Swimming in the sheltered bay and snorkeling around the Faraglioni rocks are prime draws. Kayaking and paddleboarding are possible though rentals would likely require nearby vendors. The beach serves as a launch point for boat tours circumnavigating Capri’s sea caves and rock formations. Evening events occasionally transform the space into a venue for weddings or cocktail receptions.

The beach itself has pebbled terrain and no ramps into the water. The restaurant offers wheelchair-friendly pathways to its seating areas, though restroom accessibility is unconfirmed. Nearby hotels like Hotel Weber Ambassador provide step-free access and adapted facilities.

No dedicated parking exists at the beach. Visitors typically arrive via Capri’s bus system (Torre Saracena stop), taxi, or by walking the picturesque Via Krupp path from Capri Town. Those arriving by boat can use Marina Piccola’s docking areas with prior arrangement for tender pickup.

Torre Saracena’s namesake tower dates to the island’s medieval defense system. The beach restaurant has hosted VIPs for decades, quietly mentioned in vintage Italian cinema lore. Its stilt-house design was revolutionary when installed mid-20th century, creating a template for chic coastal dining across the Mediterranean.

The legendary Faraglioni rocks dominate the seascape, best viewed from the beach or via boat tours. The vertiginous Via Krupp pathway connects to the Gardens of Augustus above, offering panoramic vistas. Nearby, Marina Piccola’s other beach clubs and the Blue Grotto (accessible by boat) round out the coastal highlights.
