The city government of Capri has approved a plan to rebuild and reorganize the public beach at Marina Grande, with an investment of about €1.1 million paid for entirely with municipal funds.
The figure cited in the technical and economic feasibility project is €1,097,820.92, according to local reporting. The municipal executive committee has now approved the executive project, moving the long-discussed renewal closer to construction.
The goal is architectural and functional renewal: universal accessibility, removal of architectural barriers, improved safety and usability, and better integration with the coastal landscape.
What will change
Accessibility is the central part of the project.
The planned works include an accessible lift, a walkway, new ramps, tactile paths, and replacement of the provisional staircase with a masonry staircase clad in local stone.
Facilities will also be rebuilt. The project covers restrooms, changing rooms, showers, and lighting, including a shift to LED lighting, alongside a pergola, a small play area, and small book-sharing houses.
Materials were chosen for compatibility with the island setting, including local stone and chestnut wood.
What visitors should know
For beachgoers, the practical effect should be easier step-free movement across the beach, renewed toilets, changing rooms and showers, and better lighting and shaded rest areas.
For readers following the process, two points are still open. The sources consulted do not give a confirmed construction start date or a complete works timetable, and they do not clarify whether all planned interventions will be built at the same time or in phases.
The financing is described consistently as municipal funds. One report specifies that the allocation comes from earmarked administrative surplus through a subsequent budget variation.
The approval follows an earlier municipal decision for the requalification of the Marina Grande public beach reported in July, with feasibility and then executive planning completed during 2026.
