The ports of Maiori are located along the Amalfi Coast, between Punta Salicerchio and Punta dello Scarpariello.
The landing is formed by an elbowed breakwater and a sub-billow pier.
A number of floating docks, operated by some local cooperatives supervised by the City of Maiori, are set up in the period from May to September for the landing of small to medium-sized boats.
Five places within the area are reserved for transit and are not allowed to stay there for more than 48 hours.
The port offers shelter from the Grecale and Tramontana winds, but when the Scirocco wind is blowing, access can be difficult. When the wind is particularly strong, docking is not recommended at all.
In any case, for those entering the port when a sirocco wind is blowing, it is best to always stay in the central access area.
The port area also features a parking lot for those arriving from shore and a waste collection service.
It is also possible to give anchorages near the landing, either in the area west of the harbor or in the area east of it, at Horse Bay.
In the summertime on the harbor beach it is possible to find various kiosks at which to eat.
The immediate vicinity of the port also offers a good choice of bars, restaurants, stores and supermarkets.
Maiori is home to one of the widest beaches on the Amalfi Coast, divided in two by a river mouth and composed of sand and small pebbles, making it easily accessible to everyone. Here, you can rent umbrellas, deck chairs, and lounge chairs at one of the many beach clubs.
Alternatively, you can relax on the public stretch of beach.
The surrounding area offers numerous caves and picturesque coves that can be reached by boat. Among them, it’s worth mentioning Cavallo Bay, with its small beach that’s very popular in the summer, and Pandora Cave, known for its stalactites and stalagmites and the turquoise color of the water reflected on its walls.
Maiori is the ideal starting point for sailing to one of the many destinations in the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno: Amalfi is only 2 miles away, Sorrento is 22 miles away, and Naples is 34 miles away.
The town center of Maiori is small and charming. The area is rich in the ruins of ancient fortresses and towers that bear witness to the town’s medieval past.
Strolling among the stairways and terraces, you can set out on a hike up Mount Falerzio. Passing through a succession of Mediterranean scrub, chestnut forests, and evergreen vegetation, you’ll reach the hermitage of the Madonna dell’Avvocata, a spot from which you can admire one of the most captivating views along the entire coast.
