Rambla Beach Resort

Anyone looking to get active can play volleyball on the sand, use the campsite’s CrossFit equipment or join in organised windsurfing, kitesurfing and windfoiling jaunts from the beach. You can also head inland to hike the Monte Giove massif (15 minutes’ drive), but if that’s a bit too strenuous for younger kids, introduce them to hiking on the way-marked paths amid the foothills of Parco Regionale Monti Ausoni e Lago di Fondi (20 minutes). A tad further inland are the Caves of Pastena (50 minutes), where underground tours lead past millennia-old limestone formations to lakes and waterfalls, and you can discover more subterranean wonders in the Monumento Naturale Grotte di Falvaterra e Rio Obaco (55 minutes). Time for a deep delve into classical history? Hotfoot it to the Temple of Jupiter (15 minutes), overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea from its clifftop eerie, or have a stroll around the gently crumbling Foro Emiliano and Teatro Romano in historic Terracina (10 minutes). Close by is the colonnaded cathedral and its ornate bell tower, both standing on ancient Roman remains.
