Sandless Beaches & Orange Umbrellas


Helen and I slept in, I headed up the street to the Tutto X Tutti (grocery) for some more chocolate corn flakes, bread and some other items that I have already forgotten.

We hung around the apartment and then headed to the beach on our side of town, a good morning spot since it is cut into a tight harbor and looses the sun around 4pm.  It is a ways down, down, down to the water but worth it.  A small pebble beach next to a concrete dock for boats and water taxis.  The water is cool (maybe a bit cold) but it feels great.  We have heard say that the water here has more salt in it, i can float really well on my back and there is a white film on skin and suits when dry.  I think I like the sand less beaches, it is hard for pebbles and small stones to stick in the crevases of my body.

We took a mid day break at the apartment and then headed to the beach on the NW side of Praiana (the orange beach).
Public beach but 90% of the space is run by a bar/ restaurant with orange sun chairs and umbrellas.  It was a rockin' place with music and a dude walking through the crowd with backpack sprayer misting those interested with cold water.  
No beach here but a concrete bulkhead with stairs into the water, which was much rougher than the harbor beach.  But the view here is superior, looking toward Positano and beyond.  This will be a good place to watch the sunset..... maybe tomorrow.
