Daniel Bellino on Capri



Daniel Bellino Zwicke

"I posted this on Instagram. I was writing the story, and it was too long.  You can only have so many characters in an Instagram post, and I was over the limit and couldn't finish my story, so I'm posting here to finish the story of being at Da Luigi Beach Club in Capri, and remembering the first time I was there in June of 1986.

 



I’m not normally a beach person, but when I’m in Positano or my Beloved ISLE of CAPRI, I like to hang out at the beach, and LOVE swimming around CAPRI or off of Positano. My Favorite swimming spots on CAPRI are at Marina Piccolo and Da Luigi Beach Club at The Faraglioni Rocks of Capri. My favorite spot to swim when staying in Positano, is La Scogliera Beach Club. Love it”

This day, I had such a wonderful time. The day before I went swimming at Marina Piccolo. This day I was treating myself to a day at Da Luigi Beach Club at the Faraglioni Rocks. It’s so beautiful there. I left my hotel, and headed to the Salumeria Capri, just off of the Piazza Umberto. They make the Best ARANCINI (Rice Balls) in all of CAPRI. I just Love them. I got two Arancini , a piece of Frittata & an order of Parmigiana (Eggplant Parm) for my beach lunch. I also got a large bottle of water, and a 1/2 bottle of Aglianico di Benevento as well. I then headed back down towards the Quisissana and the Via Tragara to walk its length to get to the pathway to the beach, and Da Luigi. I walked halfway and then couldn’t wait , and stopped to eat the Frittata. So good. I continued on my way, it’s such a lovely walk. I walked all the way to the end and had to stop at the Lemonade Stand that I first had Lemonade at, my first time to Capri, in June of 1986. I got a Lemonade. I had to. So refreshing. The turn-off to the path that leads to Da Luigi & Fontelina Beach Club is right there at the Lemonade Stand. I walked down, taking pictures along the way. I got to Da Luigi and payed the 30 Euros ($32) for my Chaise Lounge. He took the Euros, gave me a couple beach towels, and told me to take whatever spot I wanted. I took one
