Introduction

The Emerald Grotto is a dreamy, secluded sea cave on the Amalfi Coast. Its waters glow a dreamy emerald green by refracted light, like a hidden underwater fairyland, a dreamy sight. The Emerald Grotto (Grotta dello Smeraldo) is a dreamy, secluded sea cave on the Amalfi Coast (on a cliff between Amalfi and Positano). Its wonder is the dreamy emerald-green water: part of the cave mouth is below the sea surface, so daylight passes through the submerged opening and refracts into the water, dyeing it a dreamy emerald (or blue-green) glow; the whole cave water shimmers with a jewel-like green, quiet and mysterious, like a hidden underwater fairyland. Inside are pretty stalactites and stalagmites. Visitors take a small boat rowed by a boatman into the dreamy cave to quietly enjoy the green water and formations (the cave visit depends on sea conditions; may close in rough seas). Visiting the Amalfi Coast and entering the dreamy Emerald Grotto is a dreamy sight.
