Amalfi Coast/Sorrento or Sant Vito Lo Capo's Sicily?

My Husband and I are big beach people and after what others have said about the beaches/water in Amalfi and Sorrento, we are some what turned off. We will be traveling from Rome to our next area and after looking online, I am debating on skipping the Amalfi/Sorrento entirely and taking a flight from Rome to Sicily. Sicily is where my family is from and myself and my husband have never been to italy so we are trying to make the best out of our stay.

We are going to
Venice(fly in)
Florence
Siena
Rome(fly out)

And now debating on Sicily instead of the Amalfi and Sorrento areas.

if we stick to our plan with Sorrento, we would stay there, and take day trips to Amalfi(positano) and to Capri. We are in the final stages of our trip so i appreciate all the feedback we have gotten thus far. Its been so helpful.

Any last bits of advice would be appreciated so much! We probably wont get a chance to do this again, or at least 20 plus years to come.

How much time do you have? You can fly from Napoli to Palermo round trip. I like the beaches around Agrigento and Cefalu (pretty easy to get there from Palermo, especially with a car). These are in addition to San Vito.

Paestum, on the mainland, also has a beach.
