Cala Gaetano beach

Cala Gaetano is a secluded beach on the island of Ponza in Italy. There is an excellent snorkeling on the rocks, since the water is very clear. As for the swimming, it is quite difficult due to uncomfortable entry into the water. But you can have a good time in small natural pools in the rocks. Shore and seabed: stones. [edit]
