Protruding into the Gulf of Naples, Punta del Capo is a rocky promontory that offers a serene escape from the bustling town of Sorrento. This tranquil spot features a cliff-surrounded swimming cove, separated from the sea by a rocky arch. The area also holds historical significance, with the remains of a 1st-century Roman villa where Queen Joanna II of Naples is said to have bathed in secret with her lovers during the 15th century. Today, visitors can swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the coastal scenery, making it a perfect place for a peaceful day by the water.
