Latest reviews on Ponza island's beaches

Cala Feola Beach
10 Raho Vittorio

This charming sand beach located in the Le Forna area of the island is truly a gem. As far as I know, it's the only sandy beach in the vicinity. It's best to arrive early in the day to catch the sun before the mountain casts its shadow. The only drawback is the 200 steps that lead down to the beach, but the climb back up is a great workout for the legs. The beach staff are friendly and do an excellent job of keeping the area clean. The sand is regularly sifted and cleared of any debris left behind by visitors.
