ポンツァの天然記念物・トップ6

The Panoramica route is very beautiful, but you cannot complete the loop. Once you reach the beach “frontone” you can not go any longer as the road is closed due to it being private and rocks have fallen on the road so it is very dangerous (and many snakes). Nevertheless, there is a small boat that goes from the beach back to pier, which you can take.

The Faraglioni di Lucia Rosa are one of the most suggestive natural wonders of the island of Ponza, located along the western coast in the area of Le Forna. These imposing stacks, sculpted by the sea and the wind, emerge from a cliff of variegated colors and are surrounded by clear waters and seabeds rich in tunnels and small caves. Some caves host tiny pebble beaches, accessible only from the sea.

The name comes from a tragic 19th-century love story: Lucia Rosa, a young local girl, threw herself off the cliff after her father forbade her to marry the boy she loved, a simple farmer. The stacks in front of the cove bear her name in memory of this legend. Lucia Rosa Beach, located on the western coast of the island of Ponza, is one of the most evocative and fascinating coves of the Pontine archipelago.

Off shore is the “Secca dei Mattoni”, where in 1985 a Roman wreck was found with amphorae dating back to the 1st century BC. Punta di Capo Bianco is located between the beach of Chiaia di Luna and the Faraglioni di Lucia Rosa, also on the western side of the island. It is a spectacular rock face of a surreal white that plunges sheer into a turquoise sea. The area is famous for the purity of the cliff color and for the presence of numerous caves, which can only be visited by small boats.
