 Sant'Agnello
is just 1 km far rom Sorrento and the whole territory is
mainly made of tuff from the volcanic eruptions.
The beach
of Marinella is the main touristic resource: it is small
but very charming. Another enchanting spot is Punta
Sant’Elia
with its stunning panorama of the Gulf
of Salerno and the famous little isles' Li Galli'. Punta
Sant'Elia is a wonderful natural paradise that can be reached
walking along a path surrounded by a rich Mediterranean bush
and along which it is possible to see many ruins. The ending
part of the route is very interesting for birdwatchers,
there are many birds, especially, raptors to be seen.
Among the most interesting monuments you can admire the
church dedicated to the saints Prisco and Agnello, and the
Hotel Cocumella, created in an ancient Jesuit monastery
in 1637.
In the month of September there is a nice festival lasting
three days, dedicated to the typical local agricultural products.
During the festival, visitors can taste local products,
and directly buy them from the farmers, or get some information
from them about the production.
