Grotta Bianca Capri

The Grotta Bianca, or White Grotto, is one of Capri’s most enchanting natural landmarks. Located on the eastern coast, it’s known for its dazzling white limestone formations, stalactites, and unique light reflections that make the cave glow. The turquoise waters at its entrance create a striking contrast against the white interior, making it a popular stop for visitors exploring Capri’s coastline. It’s a must-see for nature lovers and those looking to capture breathtaking photographs of the island’s natural beauty.

The Grotta Bianca is accessible only by sea, making a private boat tour the best way to explore it. Many tours depart from Marina Grande, as well as nearby coastal towns like Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Naples. Sorrento Voyage offers bespoke boat tours that include stops at the Grotta Bianca, providing ample time to admire its beauty, take photos, and swim in the surrounding crystal-clear waters. While entry into the cave itself is typically limited, the views from the entrance are unforgettable.

The Grotta Bianca stands out for its tranquil atmosphere and the luminous effect created by its white limestone formations. Unlike the Blue Grotto, which is famous for its glowing blue waters and requires a rowboat to enter, the Grotta Bianca offers a more serene and intimate experience. Its accessibility by private boat and its less commercialized setting make it a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful encounter with Capri’s natural beauty.

Yes, the waters surrounding the Grotta Bianca are ideal for swimming and snorkeling.

The calm seas and clear visibility make it a favorite spot for exploring marine life.

The best time to visit the Grotta Bianca is during the spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) when the weather is pleasant and the sea is calm. Morning and early afternoon visits are recommended, as the sunlight enhances the dazzling effect of the white limestone and turquoise waters. For a quieter experience, avoid peak summer months when the coastline can get busier with boat traffic.
