The beach, located in the central part of the city, is actually quite decent for a public beach. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, there are indeed toilet and shower facilities available. The water in the shower is cold, just like any other public beach. The toilet is a basic portable one, without any luxurious features, similar to what you would find at other public beaches. In terms of cleanliness, it is not any dirtier than the majority of other public beaches in Italy or elsewhere in Europe. The Naples municipality provides free umbrellas, and during our visit on a Saturday morning, there were still at least seven available out of the total ten. Even when we left around 2pm, there were still a couple of free umbrellas, and they were never all taken. If you need a chair, you can rent one, or you can rent an umbrella if all the free ones are taken, although I doubt that would happen. The beach was definitely not crowded. Overall, it was quite decent, although it's important to note that it is a small beach within the city, so don't expect long stretches of white sandy beach. There are no cafes to sit down, but along the promenade, there are stalls where you can get a cold drink and such. I must agree with others that the views are fantastic!
