Fundera Beach

At a glance

Fundera Beach (Spiaggia della Fundera) is a small fine-sand beach on the western coast of Casamicciola Terme, near the heliport and the boundary with Lacco Ameno. It has clear water with a shallow seabed, is easy to reach and is particularly suitable for families with children; it stays in the sun until at least 4pm.

Where it is

Fundera Beach (Spiaggia della Fundera) lies on the western part of Casamicciola Terme's coastline, along the coast road to Lacco Ameno, in the Via Fundera area. It is close to the municipal helipad, which is why it is also known as the “heliport” beach. From the centre and Marina Beach, you reach it by continuing west along the coast.

What the beach is like

It is a small beach, with fine sand and clear water over a shallow seabed. The gradual entry into the water and easy access make it a popular choice with families, especially those with several children. Beach clubs operate along the sand: one of them also runs a restaurant on stilts overlooking the Fundera's waters.

Sun and exposure

The Fundera stays in the sun until at least 4pm, before the sun sets towards Forio. It is therefore a good alternative if you want to make your beach day last into the afternoon.

The coast towards Lacco Ameno

The Fundera is part of the western stretch of Casamicciola's coast, the one that runs from the harbour and Marina Beach towards Lacco Ameno along the coast road. It is a coastline open to the sea off the north of the island, with small sandy beaches alternating with rocky stretches and beach clubs right on the water. Compared with the town beach, closer to the harbour and the bustle of Piazza Marina, the Fundera offers a quieter setting while remaining a short distance from town.

How to get there

The beach is on the coast road between Casamicciola and Lacco Ameno, near the “Giovanni Paolo II” municipal helipad. From the centre of Casamicciola, head west along the coast road on foot, by car or by taxi.

Tips for your visit

  • The beach is small: in July and August it is best to arrive in the morning or book with one of the beach clubs.
  • The shallow water is ideal for children, who should nevertheless always be supervised in the water.
  • The afternoon, as the sun moves towards Forio, is the best time to enjoy the light on the sea.

What to see nearby

  • Marina Beach and the town-centre seafront.
  • Piazza Marina, the heart of Casamicciola's seafront life.
  • Further west, the neighbouring town of Lacco Ameno.
