Da Sperlonga
a Gaeta la costa si svolge in un fantastico alternersi di spiagge, di
baie, di sabbia e di roccia. E', forse il tratto in cui la natura si è
più sbizzarrita per offrire al visitatore ambienti diversi:
la lunga spiaggia di S.Agostino,
il promontorio omonimo, la caletta di S.Vito poi la solitaria spiaggia
dell'Arenauta e il promontorio di Torre Scissura. La lunga spiaggia di
Serapo, zona residenziale con ville, alberghi, ristoranti, stabilimenti
balneari.
Gaeta is a small Italian town, located just south of Rome en route to Naples, facing one of the most beautiful gulfs of Italy. Gaeta lies on a pictoresque peninsula over the Tyrrean sea and its strategic position and magic environment has made Gaeta a secure harbor since the time of the Roman Empire.
Its coast was described by many ancient poets, like Homer and Virgil. This is the reason why the coast around Gaeta is called the "Ulysses riviera".
The golden beaches and many coves, scattered all over the coast, make of Gaeta a marvelous place to relax.
The old town with its enchanting promenades and picturesque alleys, the Angioino Aragonese Castle and the town's many beautiful buildings, make Gaeta famous for culture and history. It is also the perfect starting point to explore the most loved southern Italy's treasures as Pompei,
Herculaneum, Capri, Pontine islands, Caserta Palace, Montecassino Abbey, Pastena caves and the adjacent wilderness parks of Monte Orlando, Circeo and Gianola.
You can reach Gaeta by train from Rome or Naples, directed to Formia that is the nearest train station to Gaeta. From Formia you are only 10 minutes from
Gaeta.
As you travel from Sperlongato Gaeta,
the coastline offers a magnificent variety of beaches, bays, sand and shingle: this is probably the stretch of coast in which Nature has done its utmost to create as many different sights as possible. There is the long beach of S.Agostino, the S.Agostino promontory, the little S.Vito creek complete with the hotels,
and the beach of
Arenauta, the Torre Scissura promontory and yet another
Ariana beach and the Torre Viola promontory. Then you come to cliffs
bathed in the sea, and finally
the curved Serapo beach in a residential area
complete with villas, chalets, hotels, restaurants and
beach facilities for bathers.Monte
Oralndo(that is a natural park) overlooks the sea, with
its grassy slopes bathed in the water: Montagna Spaccata is
a great cleft rock face with a sheer drop to
the coastline below, and nearby is the
Grotta of Turco. |

Dalla stretta, elegante spiaggia di Vindicio fino al verde promontorio di Gianola,
che fa da confine sud, si estende Formia ricoprendo le pendici dei Monti
Aurunci.
