Unlike the vast majority of the other municipalities on the Amalfi Coast, Maiori has a wide and long beach which is crowned by the characteristic terraces planted with citrus fruits.

No less important is the rich naturalistic and landscape heritage: the small village of Erchie is a privileged destination for young people from Salerno in search of clear waters and suggestive beaches; Capo d’Orso whose name is due to its resemblance to the head of a bear; the caves of Pandora and the sulphurous cave; among the many splendid beaches that can only be reached from the sea, Cala Bellavaia stands out.
Neorealist director Roberto Rossellini greatly appreciated Maiori to the point of shooting several films there.
