Tucked away between Maiori and Cetara, Erchie is a serene fishing hamlet that feels a world apart from the busier Amalfi Coast towns. Its main attraction is a picturesque pebble beach lapped by crystal-clear waters, backed by a cluster of colorful houses and a small marina. The beach is free and uncrowded, even in summer, offering a peaceful spot for swimming and sunbathing. Behind the beach, a few restaurants serve freshly caught seafood, and a tiny church, the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie, overlooks the cove. Erchie is also the starting point for a scenic coastal path that leads to the Torre di Erchie, a medieval watchtower. The hamlet's relaxed vibe makes it a favorite among locals seeking an escape from the tourist trail. There are no major hotels or nightlife, just the simple pleasure of lazing by the sea.
