The Grotta dello Smeraldo near Conca dei Marini is a natural sea cave where sunlight enters through an underwater opening, casting an intense emerald-green light across the cave walls and water. Small rowing boats take visitors inside for a 10-minute tour. Less famous and less crowded than Capri's Blue Grotto, it's a worthwhile side trip from Amalfi — weather permitting, since rough seas close the cave.
Getting there from the port
Local boat from Amalfi harbour or bus to Conca dei Marini
