If the Spiaggia Grande is too orderly for you, take the small boat to the Spiaggia di Laurito. (Look for the boat on the right side of the harbor as you approach the beach—it has a sign with a big red smiling fish on it.) You can spend an entire day in this little cove, taking the two steps up to the restaurant Da Adolfo when the exertion of swimming has worked up your appetite.
