Positano's quieter pebble beach, five minutes' walk from Spiaggia Grande, where an hour at the waterline can fill a pocket.
About Marina Grande, Sorrento
The old fishing harbour below Sorrento is still a working waterfront rather than a resort beach. A collector spent a few hours along it and found it more rewarding than Sorrento's main beaches.
Sea glass at Marina Grande, Sorrento
Very dark olive glass that looks black until held to the light, greens, and pieces of wired window glass.
Visiting Marina Grande, Sorrento
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.

The town beaches under Vesuvius, where decades of rubbish in the bay have left loads of sea glass in unusual colours.

A south-facing pebble bay under the Faraglioni where sea glass hides in the stones below the bathing decks. Best out of season.

Spiaggia di Santa Teresa
Salerno's city beach by the commercial port, with green, white, blue and aqua glass and the odd marble. Easy by train.
