The Amalfi Coast is experiencing a shift in seasonal tourism dynamics. While many traditional shops, souvenir stores, and beach establishments in towns like Positano and Ravello follow autumn patterns by closing for the season, a paradox has emerged where beaches remain crowded with tourists and residents.

This disconnect is characterized by intense demand in the short-term vacation rental sector, often at prices that do not reflect the low season, even as traditional hotels primarily host international excursion groups. To manage this transition, towns such as Praiano and Positano have released official schedules for bars and restaurants operating during the 2026/2027 autumn and winter seasons. These guides aim to assist residents and off-season visitors, with some establishments in Positano reported to be open year-round.
