Beach Clubs in Sorrento/ Sady beaches

Amalfi Coast is not known for sandy beaches and Sorrento does not have beaches per se, rather it has wooden floating docks at the base of its cliffs creating rather nice ocean swimming areas and sunbathing facilities. Positano has a beach, part sand, part pebble as I recall.

Best day to get info is to Google the towns along the coast, they usually have comprehensive information on beaches etc.and most sites are in English and other languages.

If you are looking for Florida type, sandy beaches, you are out of luck. Most beaches are smooth pebbles -- some might call it gravel. They are nice but it is not the same.

Any recommendations for beach clubs / sandy beaches.

Cancun. Florida. Hawaii. Thailand. Much of the Caribbean and South Pacific. But Italy? (and, in fact, most of Europe?) Wrong part of the world.

What most Americans dream of when they think "beautiful beach" is broad, uncrowded swaths of fine white sand, crystal clear warm turquoise water, ideally fringed by palm trees. Yes, you can find some places (kinda) like that in Europe, but most of what passes for "nice beach" in Europe (and in Italy) are not really like that. Usually it's pebbles, chaise lounges lined-up cheek-by-jowl, and rented by the hour. Still pleasant, and maybe what the OP wants, but for many first-time American visitors expecting "beach time" in Europe, I think they're in for something of a let down.

(And before my European friends jump all over me for such blasphemy, I'm not saying there are no beautiful beaches in Europe, there are...just that they are generally either few and hard to reach for the casual, drive-by tourist, or they're in places further removed from the main tourism circuits that Americans go to...you can find them, but not near Sorrento - as much as I love Sorrento).

Europe has other stuff that Cancun, Hawaii and Phuket don't have. While I enjoy beaches (almost) as much as anyone, when visiting Europe, I try to concentrate on the unique things that only Europe has to offer. If I want a beautiful beach experience, I'm heading in other directions (or working harder to get to a beach that isn't packed with lounge chairs filled with sunburned visitors from the north). Around Sorrento? Calibrate your beach expectations (and have a lemoncello while you do).

Are you looking for a hotel with beach access?

Not a beach club but we spent a week in Sorrento last month and the highlight of it and the whole 25 day trip was our eight hour boat trip booked through "You Know " not a tour operator . Here is the description "Hybrid boat excursion to Positano, Amalfi and Ieranto bay – Eco-sustainable tour The first eco-sustainable tour that will take you to discover one of the most sought-after destinations in Italy: the Amalfi coast. Sail aboard a gozzo with new hybrid technology in total silence and zero emissions and discover the infinite beauty of the Amalfi coast by sea: with stops for swimming, free time in Positano and Amalfi and exclusive access to the Marine Protected Area of ​​Ieranto." The water was calm and beautiful, the views gorgeous and the crew of two were very kind . They served chips, prosecco, beers and non alcoholic and simple caprese sandwiches. The ECO trip only carries four couples and we all had a great time with room on both the front and back (with shade) of the boat. The boat stopped at Positano which was so impacted by tourists and Amalfi which was a pleasant stroll for shoppping and snacks. It wasn't cheap but we felt a good value. The fun was swimming 3-4 times and they had floats aboard and helped you get in and out of the boat. Some people just enjoyed staying on board. Just great fun!
Another day we considered the floating docks with chaises and umbrellas with food and drinks available. Most of the swimming was enclosed between piers. It looked nice but close to where the ferries depart so we weren't so sure about the water quality. I have been on Positano's beach and seen the fuel floating on the surface.

If you want sandy beaches, the Amalfi coast is not the place to go. It's mostly cliffs with pebble coves.

You don't need to go as far as Thailand or Hawaii. Those type of beaches are present in Italy as well in several regions (maybe David hasn't visited any of those regions), but they are mostly in Sardinia,in the Salento area of Puglia, in Calabria, in Sicily and other locations, but not on the Amalfi Coast.
