Spiaggia di Fontania, nestled on Gaeta's southern coast within the Riviera di Ulisse, is a compact yet captivating beach celebrated for its golden sands, clear waters, and dramatic rocky outcrops[1][2]. Sheltered by two promontories, it offers a serene escape with a unique microclimate, becoming shaded earlier in the evening due to its positioning[1]. Beyond its natural allure, the beach is steeped in history, hosting remnants of a 1st-century Roman villa linked to consul Gneo Fonteo[3][5]. Visitors are drawn to its intimate vibe, ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or exploring ancient ruins within steps of the shoreline[4][5].
Despite its modest size (approximately 300 meters in length)[2], Fontania Beach buzzes with activity during summer, attracting a mix of families, history enthusiasts, and tranquility seekers. The blend of archaeological intrigue and coastal beauty creates a distinctive atmosphere, further enhanced by proximity to Gaeta's historic center and other scenic beaches like Serapo[3][5].
