Punta Campanella

Protected headland at the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, facing Capri across the strait.

Punta Campanella is the wild western tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, facing Capri across the narrow waterway where ancient sailors placed myth and danger. The protected marine and coastal area includes limestone cliffs, Mediterranean scrub, small coves, and walking routes with big views over both the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi side.

For travellers based in Sorrento, it is one of the best ways to trade traffic and shopping streets for a more elemental landscape. Go prepared for sun, rough paths, and limited services, and treat it as a nature excursion rather than a casual town stroll.
