Via Flavio Gioia, 80079 Procida NA
Procida beach, famous for its dark volcanic sand and for being the setting for the film Il Postino, features a quiet, panoramic bay.
Pozzo Vecchio Beach, also known as "Postman's Beach," is one of Procida's most iconic bays. Located on the western side of the island, it can be reached via a path that runs alongside the cemetery, in a scenic and picturesque setting. The beach opens into a small horseshoe-shaped bay, protected by rocks and surrounded by a highly evocative natural landscape.
The sand, of volcanic origin, is dark in color, creating a striking contrast with the intense blue of the sea, making the view particularly recognizable and photogenic. The location has become internationally famous because some of the most famous scenes from the film "Il Postino," starring Massimo Troisi, were filmed here.
Today, it is a highly regarded beach for its tranquil atmosphere, clear sea, and still relatively unspoiled natural setting, ideal for those seeking relaxation and one of the island's most iconic views.
