A quiet, inexpensive attraction on the coast at Sperlonga. Very much enjoyed a visit here, and the walk along the beach to get there. A must-see when visiting the area.

The first dock in Sperlonga was built to meet the needs of local fishermen and boaters. Over the years the tourist and recreational function has become prevalent, thanks to the quality of the marine waters, the beauty of the coast (which includes the Regional Park of the Ulysses Riviera) and the proximity of the Pontine islands. A breakwater pier, which extends for 200 m, and a jetty with a curvilinear extension delimit two basins separated by a central arm, with a total surface of 19,000 m2. Two hydraulic connections between the basins and the supply of fresh water, coming from the nearby springs, ensure an effective water recirculation in the two basins. Traits of the docks are reserved for professional fishermen, boats of the Coast Guard and the mooring of boats in transit. The docks and floating docks, the latter paved in wooden planks, are equipped with turrets for the distribution of electricity, drinking water and washing water, to service the parked boats.

This is a small museum but very enjoyable. The main attraction is Emperor Tiberius' grotto and remains of his villa. You need to do this with a tour guide who can explain the history of Tiberius and bring this all to life. We loved the stories of his gladiators fighting alligators in the ponds near the grotto. The indoor part of the museum houses some of the statues found during excavation works and are marvellous. You will only need an hour or so to visit but it is well worth it.

We were treated beautifully by the people that run this beach club. The setting was beautiful and the food in the restaurant was some of the best we had whilst in Sperlonga. My wife’s antipasto di mare was excellent-my frittura mista the best I’ve had in Italy and they were even able to offer my daughter a beautiful ravioli dish as she is not a big fan of fish! Highly recommend!
