Small crescent beach framed by limestone cliffs and clear turquoise water — great for shoreline compositions, reflections, and colorful fishing boats against Ponza's pastel houses. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and fewer crowds; summer afternoons are busy. Accessible on foot from Santa Maria village; island access by ferry from Anzio/Formia. No formal parking on the beach; expect steps and rocky access. Bring reef shoes for exploring rock pools and low cliffs.
