What to do on the island?

Ponza is the ideal island for holidays: during the daytime sea, beaches, boat trips and water sports; at night, life is kindled in a kaleidoscope of colours, lights and scents. Walking along the main street with shops and restaurants, you can see the fishermen getting prepared to set sail for another night of fishing.

The moon and lights reflecting on the water create a striking array of colors, an unforgettable sight. For who love staying up late, there is the island’s disco called “Covo NordEst” (“Campo Inglese” area), which can be reached by bus and taxi; along the port area, there are other places where good music can be enjoyed, as well as having a drink in the cool sea breeze.
