Marina Grande

Marina Grande, in Sorrento, is a place where time seems to stand still, leaving room for dreams and the magic of the sea. This small village, surrounded by rocky walls, is a true corner of paradise, still untouched by the wild urbanization that has affected other parts of the city.

From Marina Grande, you can admire the entire Bay of Naples, the majestic Vesuvius, and the coast of the Sorrento Cape, which stretches to the area of the Baths of Queen Giovanna. The sunset here is an unforgettable experience, with the sun diving into the sea amidst shades of red and gold.

The village is rich in history and tradition. The ancient pre-Roman gate, made of tuff and limestone, is a symbol of Marina Grande’s glorious past3. The Church of Sant’Anna, built by local fishermen, is the heart of the village, and every year, on July 26, celebrations are held in honor of the saint with a sea procession and fireworks.
Marina Grande is famous for its shipbuilding, where the “Sorrento gozzo” is born, a small traditional boat built with ancient methods. Local cuisine is another attraction, with restaurants offering typical dishes based on fresh fish, such as swordfish and anchovies, served with local wines and accompanied by a breathtaking view of the sea.

Marina Grande is an authentic place, where the local community is rooted in family and work values. The picturesque houses, fishermen’s boats, and the smell of salt create a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The beach, with its black volcanic sand, is ideal for families and offers equipped beach facilities for relaxation.
