Summary

Amazing limestone cave with jugs and roofs of all sized and creed.

Access issues

The approach to the beach described here is through private property. It is open all year round but in summer the owner demands 3 euros to pass. Owner claims the cave itself is in his property and may limit winter access by closing the gate off-season. There exist other approaches to the beach, through the "300 gradini" beach access about 100m in the direction of Sperlonga (closed in winter).

Approach

Park on rest areas (3 of them) around km 24,400 of Via Flacca. First (and closest) parking with sign "ultima spiaggia selvaggia". Walk to gate between first and second parking and down the stairs to beach (see Access issues). Walk left (facing sea) until the retaining wall ends and then up the dune till you reach the cave.
