Cala Cecata

Cala Cecata is a small rocky cove on Ponza's Le Forna coastline where you anchor off and swim straight into immediately deep, crystal-clear water. Forget sand — it's all flat rock platforms that locals use to stretch out and sunbathe, which keeps the crowds thin even in peak summer. It stays remarkably quiet compared to the island's busier spots, making it worth dropping the hook here for a swim stop.
