From Positano's main Spiaggia Grande, it's a gentle walk west, with an acceptable number of steps (hooray!) to Spiaggia del Fornillo. Toss off your stilettos and lace up your trainers: Fornillo is more laid-back than its swanky neighbor and it's also home to a handful of summer beach bars, which can get quite spirited after sunset.
To reach Fornillo, head for the western end of Spiaggia Grande, by the ferry harbor, and climb the steps. Walk past the Torre Trasita and continue on as the path passes dramatic rock formations and a verdant gully until you reach the appealing beach.
