No top-flight club anywhere near: the nearest Serie A side is Napoli, and Salerno's own team dropped to Serie C for 2026/27 — so the coast's sport happens on and under the water.
SSC Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
The nearest Serie A club, in Fuorigrotta on the western edge of Naples and reachable by train from Salerno. Tickets go through the club's own site and sell out for the big fixtures; the metro line puts you at the ground.
Salernitana at the Stadio Arechi
Salerno's club has fallen to Serie C for 2026/27 and still fills the Arechi. Cheap tickets, sold through TicketOne outlets and the club site, with most home games on a Sunday afternoon — the most ordinary and most local sporting afternoon within reach of the coast.
Diving in the Punta Campanella marine protected area
The reserve is run by a consortium of six comuni, Positano among them, and covers the point between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno. It is zoned: in the strict and general reserve zones you can only dive with an authorised centre and the park's permission, and spearfishing and jet skis are banned outright.
Regata delle Antiche Repubbliche Marinare
Amalfi, Genoa, Pisa and Venice have raced eight-oared galleys against each other since 1955, each city hosting in turn and a costumed procession going first. The 71st edition was rowed at Pisa in June 2026, so Amalfi's turn on its own water comes round about every fourth year.
Maiori's marked walking routes
Maiori's tourist board maps eight colour-coded routes out of the town with GPS tracks: the seafront, the climb up Corso Reginna to the Collegiata, the high hamlets, the castles and old fortifications, and a boat route east to Erchie. Far emptier than the Path of the Gods, and free.
