Spiaggia di Capri

Physical

The coastline of Capri, including areas such as La Fontelina, the Faraglioni rock stacks, and Marina Piccola — a mix of premium beach clubs and limestone rock formations, with emerald-coloured water.

Social

Visitors are largely wealthy Italian and international tourists. Access to the best-known spots is often through paid beach clubs. The setting stages a visible tension between the raw geology of the island and the display of wealth around it.

Context

Capri has been a symbol of European luxury tourism since the 19th century, and its beach clubs continue that tradition today.

Environment

Rocky, erosion-resistant limestone shoreline with built beach-club structures.
