1. Introduction
Italy’s Amalfi Coast is already famed for its magnificent natural attractions, including a gorgeous rugged coastline and crystal-clear beaches. If you’re in search of such a beach where you’ll find incredible scenery, head to the town of Furore, located in the Campania region of Italy, where a gigantic fjord opens up to create its very own hidden beach.
2. Discovering Furore
The narrow bay of the fjord invites those who descend down the long staircase leading to the bottom to enjoy the inlet. Furthermore, a bridge spanning the length of the fjord allows for breathtaking views over the area. Carved by the cascading waters of the Schiato River over centuries, this fjord creates a natural amphitheater that has hosted the Marmeeting High Diving World Championship. Moreover, it’s a favorite spot for locals during the summer months.

Once you’ve had a chance to take a dip in its clear waters, you’ll find a series of trails that you can hike to reach nearby bars and restaurants. Additionally, the small town of Furore itself is adorned with white homes nestled between vines and olives, set up today as an open-air museum.
