Cala dell'Acqua

Cala dell'Acqua is one of the rare spots on Ponza you can actually reach by road — a winding track drops down through an old bentonite mine to meet the sea at Le Forna, making it busier than most coves but no less beautiful for it. You anchor off here and swim in water that's genuinely as clear as it gets, with striking rocky cliffs and panoramic views that frame the whole scene. It's the kind of place that sticks with you long after you've pulled up the anchor.
