While Marina Piccola offers a more peaceful experience compared to Marina Grande, it can still get quite busy, especially during the summer months. Be prepared for limited parking if you're arriving by car, as Capri's narrow streets can fill up quickly with tourists. The beach is rocky, so comfortable footwear is recommended, especially if you plan to walk along the shore or swim. There are no major amenities like changing rooms or showers, so bring everything you need with you. The water is calm and ideal for swimming, but as with any popular beach, it’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon for a more tranquil experience.

Getting to Marina Piccola is easy from Capri's main square, Piazza Umberto I. From there, you can take a bus or taxi to the beach, or if you enjoy walking, it’s a scenic 15-20 minute walk down the hill. For those who prefer a more relaxing experience, there are also boat tours that depart from Marina Grande and make stops at various locations, including Marina Piccola. If you’re staying on the island, it’s an easy and quick trip, but be prepared for a bit of a climb back up if you're walking. The views on the way down are well worth the effort!

The best time to visit Marina Piccola is during the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is less intense and the beach is quieter. This is also when the lighting creates the perfect conditions for photographs, with the Faraglioni rocks providing a stunning backdrop. If you’re visiting during peak summer months, it’s best to come early to secure a good spot on the beach and enjoy the calm waters before the crowds arrive. During the shoulder seasons of spring and fall, Marina Piccola offers a more peaceful experience with fewer tourists and milder weather, making it a perfect time to relax by the sea.

Marina Piccola is a great place to unwind, making it a perfect spot for a day trip. Whether you’re staying on Capri or visiting from nearby Sorrento or Naples, it’s a wonderful location to spend a few hours soaking up the sun and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. If you're on a boat tour around the island, it’s worth making a stop at Marina Piccola to take in the views and relax by the water. You can also opt for a swim in the calm sea or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the seaside restaurants. Marina Piccola is the perfect spot to slow down, relax, and experience Capri’s more tranquil side.
