Beaches in Gaeta

You'll undoubtedly remember the best beaches in Gaeta on the Lazio coast, as this part of the Tyrrhenian Sea is considered a marine reserve and is protected by the World Wildlife Fund, a well-known international environmental organisation.

Gaeta's coastline extends over several kilometres, so you're sure to find just the right spot.

For those of you wondering what is the best beach in Gaeta, here are some maps. The most popular beach is Serapo. The beach with fine white sand and a gentle descent into the water is ideal for a holiday with children. The beach is equipped with showers, water bikes and boats can be rented on the beach, and a café on the beach is a fun place to hang out.

Those tourists who prefer seclusion and don't like the noise will appreciate Fontagna Beach, a small part of the coast where the ruins of an ancient Roman villa are located. Given the small size of the beach, it's advisable to arrive early to secure a spot. Also be prepared for the lack of amenities such as showers and cafes.

Between two sheer cliffs, there is a small beach called Beach Ariana. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the landscapes of the Tyrrhenian Sea. And from one of the 50-meter cliffs, you can admire the ancient Watchtower, which served as a reliable defense for the city. From there, alarm signals were sent in case of pirate raids by the Saracens.

The large Shissura Beach is located along the Flacca Road. To reach the coast with its white sandy beach, you'll need to descend 300 steps.
