The closest beach to Villa Serena is I Bagni della Regina Giovanna (The baths of Queen Joan).
It consists of a beautiful rocky beach close to where you can still admire the ruins of an ancient Roman villa, utilised by Pollio Felice for his summer vacations during the 1st century AD. To reach this piece of jagged coastline that overlooks the sea, you need to walk a short and quite easy trial which departs from Capo di Sorrento. The beach is not suitable for children but compensates by offering a crystal clear sea which is impossible to resist.
At a few distance from i bagni della Regina Giovanna, you find the beach of Solara. While you must pay an entrance fee, it is equipped with deck chairs and sun umbrellas.
The closest sandy beach, suitable for children and reached directly by car is the beach of Puolo. Formed in part by pebbles and in part by sand, the beach is a distance about 1.5 km from Villa Serena and is equipped with a beach establishment, paid parking, restaurant and bar.
If you like walking, you can reach the centre of Sorrento via a pleasurable walk of circa 20 minutes or instead take a bus whose stop is distanced 200metres from the villa.
