This structure was formed as a result of numerous eruptions, when lava flows, flowing into the sea, lay on top of each other. Over time, the sea waves washed away the soft tuff, resulting in such bizarre forms.

In the season, there is nowhere to fall an Apple-I can believe it, because this is almost the only place on the East coast, accessible to "savages", all other beaches are located on the territory of hotels. Now the beginning of April, and the beach is naturally empty. Cartaromana beach is especially popular among divers - it is common to find archaeological objects. In summer, it can be reached by boat from Porto di Ischia or from Ischia Ponte. From Ischia Porto there are buses here  C12 и С13 lines. And walking distance from the centre can be reached in forty minutes, unless of course, you know the way.
