The entire Amalfi Coast is full of colorful towns that cling to cliff faces, yet travelers rarely venture beyond the popular Amalfi, Positano, or Ravello. But one town remains relatively unspoiled with vibrant houses built around a domed church and a small port and beach dotted with old wooden fishing boats.

Historically a fishing village, it’s always been self-sufficient and so mass tourism has never really been on the agenda here. Instead, it’s known for anchovy and tuna specials and the world-famous colatura di alici, an exquisite extract of fermented anchovies referred to by locals as “liquid gold.” The beach is pristine and it’s a great base to explore other towns across the coast.
