"Camping" - Italian Style
This is an area I hadn't been to in years - just remembered the spectacular clear water. Mary the receptionist is extremely nice but your Italian should be pretty good if you want to communicate verbally. From Formia train station its about a 10 minute ride by cab. Bring in some provisions unless you opt for the full board. There's really not a town center. Just beach and restaurant. The bungalows are sparse but clean. It's great to be right on the beach BUT, the other side is right on the Via Flacca which is right on the road. So nighttime noise is an issue. Get your "lettini" on the beach nice and early so you can be at the water's edge - most all beachgoers smoke; this way you get the sea breeze. Beautiful view of the old tower off the point of Gaeta and cliffs with island of Ponzo in the distance. Lovely sunsets and aquamarine waters.
