Punta Campanella

The marine protected area of Punta Campanella is located on the Sorrentine peninsula about 50 kilometers from the big city of Naples. Surrounded by the rich waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this peninsula is part of the Amalfi coast, a 40-kilometer region of Italy stretching between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. The marine protected area includes some grotto’s, inlets, and bays starting at Punta del Capo and ending near Punta Germano.

One of the most popular places to visit on this peninsula is the town of Sorrento due to its accessibility to the Amalfi coast and view of Mount Vesuvius. Sorrento is a little of an unexpected diving destination. All the treasures of the underwater world, the depths of deep-blue waters in Sorrento allow so many things to be seen! Taking a plunge in Sorrento is embodied by similar geology as found on the beach like caverns, sheer drop-offs, and caves. The gem in its crown is the protected marine territory of Punta Campanella, making it the best spot for scuba diving in Italy.

Location: Sorrentine, Italy.
