There's access to get down to the beach area, which isn't bad on the way down but it's a trek back up - although there is a paid elevator you can take back up. Dont miss it!

This area afforded stunning views of the water below along with mountain views in the distance. It was the perfect combination of land, water and so much more. There were also about 250 steps that led to the beach area below. In my opinion, the area was perfection.

With beautiful blue water, views of the steep cliffs from sea level, and Mt. Vesuvius in the background, it's very picturesque and worth experiencing even if you aren't catching a ferry. There are some cafes and a few touristy souvenir kiosks, one that sold some very pretty and functional tote bags. I purchased one that folded up to practically nothing and easily fit into my handbag. This way, I always had a tote to carry any items I bought along the way. For $5, my tote covered in signature Sorrento lemons was a treasure! The beach here isn't what one typically envisions. There is no sand and not much space. Most areas are owned by the hotels and they have private lifts that take you down to their private docks lined with recliners. On the far south end is a public area and if you are coming from the town above, you can walk down a path of steps and switchbacks to reach the public docks and cafes. From above, the lift / elevator is located over by the museum and small. For just $1 euro each way, you can make it down to the beach or back up to the town easily. Some people walk down then take the lift up. After a full day of walking, I did the round trip for $2 and it was totally worth it!

The sidewalk you can look down is quite narrow and the street is quite busy, being essentially the main thoroughfare from the main square, Piazza Tasso. However, there is a wider spot, with the best view, from the end of the street by the hotel parking garage. There aren't a lot of cars there so I'd recommend this spot. I really do wish you could go down there and of course my intrusive thoughts went wild but it was well worth the look down.

These ruin are very close to the city center so worth the short walk to get there. You cannot walk…read moredown to it unfortunately, but the view from above is very nice and leaves you with a bit of mystery, imagining what the inside looks like. The place is an old flour mill from the 13th century and is surrounded on either side by two rivers. When we were there in July, the greenery that you may see in pictures online wasn't quite at its peak. I am not sure when the peak time is, but it was still great to see. The view point is not marked or anything, but is along a narrow sidewalk with sometimes busy traffic going by so be careful. We spent less then 5 minutes there.
