Spiaggia Giancos

Spiaggia Giancos is a picturesque beach located on the island of Ponza in Italy. Nestled within a protected natural area, this town beach is situated in the village of Giancos. Its proximity to the harbor bay and the road to Santa Maria makes it a convenient destination for visitors, particularly those arriving by boat. As such, it is the closest and easiest bathing beach to reach from the docking area.

The beach is characterized by its serene environment, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. Its quiet and comfortable atmosphere is especially suitable for children, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for young visitors. However, it does share its space with piers for yachts, boats, and dinghies, which can contribute to the activity in the area.

Despite this, the natural beauty of Spiaggia Giancos remains its primary allure, drawing visitors for a unique beach experience. The beach was officially designated for bathing by the municipal council of Ponza, a decision that garnered unanimous support from both the opposition and the majority. This resolution became effective in the summer of 2020, making Spiaggia Giancos the only beach accessible on foot until the reopening of Chiaia di Luna.

Spiaggia Giancos offers several amenities for the comfort of its visitors. These include a beach bar, umbrellas, and deck chairs. Additionally, a minimarket is located nearby for easy access to refreshments and essentials.

The beach's designation as a bathing area serves to protect the public interest, ensuring that private interests will not exploit the area through the construction of piers. A commission has been established to address any issues related to securing the necessary permits for the exclusive use of the beach for bathing.
