Cala Inferno beach

Cala Inferno is a bay in the east of Ponza island, Italy. In fact, there is no beach at all. You can dive from the boat or snorkel in clear water. The main attraction is a staircase (60 meters high) on the rocks, made in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, the object is badly damaged, so it is closed for public. Shore and seabed: stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

In Cala Inferno, there are several hotels with rooms' rates ranging from US$80 to US$200 per night. However, anyway it is not possible to walk down to the beach.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Rome airports of Fiumicino (FCO) or Ciampino (CIA). Take a train to Anzio, Terracina, Formia or to Naples, and next get to Ponza island by ferry or by hydrofoils / aliscafo. Then take a boat to the bay of Cala Inferno. However, the south end of the bay can be reached by land, but there is nothing interesting.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Cala Inferno is a warm period in the summer half of the year.
