On the waterPonza is near enough to do from Anzio and far enough that the mainland stops mattering — yellow cliffs, water that turns turquoise over sand, and coves you can only reach from a boat.
It is a long day on open water with swimming stops all through it, so it suits people who came for the sea rather than for the town.
Anzio at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
