The Sorrento Coast and its beaches are famous for their crystal clear waters and the typical Mediterranean vegetation in which they are immersed.
Along the Coast of Sorrento, you’ll find many coves set between cliffs, where you can spend some time to relax and sunbathe in nothing but tranquility. The beaches around Sorrento are different from the usual beaches: mainly composed of pebbles instead of sand and all of them have great bathing establishments, perfectly equipped to suit your needs.
The most beautiful beaches are definitely those reachable only by sea, as they are less crowded and still unspoiled.
Below we have selected for you the best seaside resorts and beautiful beaches of the Sorrentine Peninsula according to the advice of locals:
La Solara
This beach is only reachable by foot and accordingly it is less crowded respect to all the other beaches of Sorrento.
In this area, there was once a majestic seaside villa of the Roman era from the first century BC. Today, it is only possible to visit the ruins.
The beach is often frequented by those who love to practice naturism and is well known by the gay community of the area, which often finds itself here.
Marina Piccola & Marina Grande
Then we have the two main beaches in Sorrento the Marina Grande and Marina Piccola, situated only a few steps away from the heart of town, there you’ll find out what it truly mean to swim in Sorrento water.
It is recommended that you access the beach from the communal villa through the stairs carved into the mountain or by the lift running only during summertime.
It is in Marina Grande that you’ll find our Apartment Coltur Suite.
Marina di Puolo
Next on the list are the beaches of Massalubrense, the most frequented by locals where you can relax in the sun, with light sea breezes caressing you.
