Marina Piccola has two small free beaches on either side of the Scoglio delle Sirene beach establishment, and both tend to get crowded in high season. You can walk to these beaches easily from the center of Capri town...just take the stairs down Via Mulo (there is a public bus back up the hill).
I like to stay in one place longer but if you have never been, I do think visiting Capri for two nights is a nice way to experience it for the first - you won't see as much as you could but you will certainly see and enjoy more than you would if you went for a day trip or just one night in and and out.
This is a bit ambitious, doing everything in 2 weeks. We just did Capri, Naples and the Amalfi coast in spring and it took us 10 days which was way too short. I agree that you would need at least 3 days in Capri, Amalfi and Positano are both great places to visit and so is Ravello. Sorrento is nice but nothing special.
