Punta Campanella Marine Reserve

Site Overview

The Punta Campanella Marine Reserve marks the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, a protected area of gorgonian walls, macro life and clear Tyrrhenian water. Nudibranchs, groupers and morays share the rock with red gorgonians, and the sheltered position makes it a reliable dive. It is one of the most accessible reserves in Campania, ideal for training and photography, and a gentle introduction to the region’s rich reef life. The scenery above, with Capri on the horizon, is a bonus. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and a respect for Italy’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among Mediterranean divers.
