Is Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast?

Many consider Sorrento part of the “Amalfi Coast”, but they are two distinct locations. The Amalfi Coast is the coastline to the south that faces the Gulf of Salerno. While Sorrento is located on the Sorrentine Peninsula at the south-eastern terminus of the Circumvesuviana rail line. However, if you’re looking to go to Sorrento directly from the Amalfi Coast then you can always take a ferry. Both locations are still great places to visit during your stay in Italy!
