Positano has
a couple of decent beaches and many boutiques;
the town has long specialized in simple beach
clothes made from linen, georgette and cotton,
as well as handmade shoes and sandals. But its
location, high above the water, has inspired a
thousand picture postcards made it a famous resort
Positano is, of course, expensive, and an overnight
stay isn't recommended, although its beaches are
nice enough and don't get too crowded. The main
one, the Spiaggia Grande right
in front of the village, is a nice one even if
you'll be sunbathing among the fishing boats ;there's
also another, larger stretch of beach, Spiaggia
del Fornillo, around the headland to
the west, accessible in five minutes by a pretty
path although its central section is also a pay
area. The bar-terrace of the Puppetto hotel ,
which runs along much of its length, is a cheaper
place to eat and drink than anywhere in Positano
proper.
