Getting There

  • Walking

    From Amalfi's center, follow the SS163 (Amalfi Coast Road) west. After about 1 kilometer, past the hamlet of Lone, look for a gate on the left marking the start of the staircase. Descend the approximately 400 steps to reach the beach. Be prepared for a challenging climb back up. There are no costs associated with walking.

  • Public Transport

    Take the SITA bus from Amalfi towards Positano. Get off at the 'Lone' stop. From there, a short walk leads to the staircase descending to Duoglio Beach. Cost: A single SITA bus ticket within the Amalfi Coast typically costs around €2-3. Be aware that parking near the beach is very limited, especially during high season.

  • Boat

    During the summer, a boat service connects Amalfi's port directly to Duoglio Beach. The boats depart approximately every 30 minutes. Cost: A round-trip ticket typically costs €4-5. This is a convenient option, especially for those with mobility issues or who prefer to avoid the steps.

Discover more about Amalfi Cruises

Nestled a kilometer west of Amalfi, Il Duoglio Spiaggia is a captivating beach renowned for its clear azure waters and dramatic setting. Backed by steep, rocky cliffs, this beach offers a picturesque escape from the busier tourist spots along the Amalfi Coast. The beach is composed of small pebbles, so water shoes are recommended for comfort. Access to Il Duoglio Spiaggia is part of its charm. The most common route involves descending approximately 400 steps from the main road. This descent, while potentially challenging, adds to the beach's secluded and tranquil atmosphere. Alternatively, particularly during the summer months, a convenient boat service runs from the port of Amalfi directly to the beach. Once on the beach, visitors can enjoy a range of activities. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with the underwater environment offering glimpses of local marine life. For those seeking relaxation, there are lidos (beach clubs) offering sunbeds, umbrellas, and other amenities. Water sports enthusiasts can rent kayaks and paddleboards. Two beach clubs, Lido degli Artisti and I Due Scugnizzi, provide restaurants and bars. Note that the sun disappears behind the cliffs in the early afternoon, so it's best to arrive in the morning. Historically, the area around Duoglio Beach has points of interest. To the east, on a high point, a fortified area existed in medieval times. Records indicate an ancient watchtower and the Chapel of Santa Caterina, which remained standing as late as 1871.
