Spiaggia di Atrani

Physical

The beach of Atrani, said to be the smallest town in Italy built directly on the sea, on the Amalfi Coast.

Social

The beach functions as the town's main public square as much as a place to swim. Used heavily by local residents, who maintain a strong presence despite the mass tourism common elsewhere on the Amalfi Coast.

Context

Atrani's tight urban fabric long predates modern tourism, and the town has kept a distinct local identity even as neighbouring towns along the coast became major destinations.
