ABOUT MASSA LUBRENSE
Massa Lubrense has the largest municipal area on the Sorrentine Peninsula, stretching from the Sorrento cape to Punta Campanella and reaching as far as the coast along the Gulf of Salerno. It covers 20 square kilometers and encompasses 18 villages, including Sant’Agata sui due Golfi (often considered its own town).
.
The highlight of Massa Lubrense is without a doubt its beautiful landscapes, which include the Punta Campanella and Ieranto nature reserves, thick woods, rocky coastlines facing the island of Capri, the fishing village of Nerano, and views over the Bay of Naples and Salerno. This natural beauty is what makes Massa Lubrense one of the most picturesque spots in both the region of Campania and all of Italy.
.
WHAT TO VISIT IN MASSA LUBRENSE
The town limits of Massa Lubrense are quite spread out and cover the hills on the far western point of the Sorrentine Peninsula and the coastline along the Bay of Salerno.
This area has ancient roots, and legend holds that Ulysses encountered the mythological sirens between Punta Campanella and the Li Galli Islets. On Punta Campanella, an inscription was discovered in Osco, a pre-Italic language spoken before the era of the Romans, that indicates that there was once a commercial port here. Nearby, the remains of a temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva was also discovered.
.
Today, the town itself centers around the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie, just a few steps from the panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. The road sets off here to Marina della Lobra, a small fishing village and marina. Two other roads lead out of the center of town: one leads to the hills of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi and the other to Marciano, the Nerano beaches (Marina del Cantone), and the trails along Ieranto and Punta Campanella.
.
In Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi, stop to visit the Monastery of San Paolo (still inhabited by cloistered Benedictine nuns) in a spot known locally as “il deserto”. Here there is a sweeping view that extends from the Bay of Naples to the Amalfi Coast.
.
The Bay of Ieranto is another breathtaking sight, part of Italy's National Heritage Trust, which also offers guided hikes. The trail is open to the public.
.
The Punta Campanella trail is easier and less steep than the Ieranto trail, which may not be suitable for everyone.

WHY SHOULD I STAY IN MASSA LUBRENSE ?
Massa Lubrense has the most beautiful landscapes and crystalline beaches on the Sorrentine Peninsula. That said, you must have a car or scooter to get around. There are buses that run between and the center of Massa and Sorrento and others that go to Sant’Agata and Nerano, but by far the easiest way to travel is with your own car. It takes about 15 minutes to drive between Massa Lubrense and Sorrento if you don't run into traffic.
There is a direct bus that passes through Sant'Agata to Positano and Amalfi (but not the center of Massa Lubrense). It's a bit more complicated to reach Pompeii, as you need to take the bus to Sorrento then the trail.

BEACHES + BEACH CLUBS IN MASSA LUBRENSE
Massa Lubrense is a "Blue Flag" area with crystalline beaches, especially near the Punta Campanella marine reserve. It's not always easy to reach the water, however, since most "beaches" are actually steep rocks that jut directly above the water. Here are the best-serviced beaches in the area:
.
Marina di Puolo: the closest beach to Sorrento set at the bottom of a narrow road at the cape of Sorrento, though there is also a less steep private road (the white gate just beyond the public road marked by the sign “Cala di Puolo”). Here the beaches are relatively accessible and suitable for children, but there are often various boats moored just offshore.
.
Capitan Cook: beach club + restaurant : this beach club is set on the rocks and has an excellent restaurant. Park along the road and follow the path down for about two kilometers. There is a tuk-tuk shuttle service back up to the road from the beach.
Address : Via Nastro d Oro, 80061 Massa Lubrense NA
