Hiking
The goat cave can be reached via a path suitable for everyone (including children) but closed shoes or sandals are recommended. The cave, the sign says, is a fossil furrow of interglacial sea shoreline. From the cave you can then access the sea for a nice swim. At the top of the path there is a small parking lot. Highly recommended place!!!

During the interglacial period, the height of the Mediterranean Sea was higher by 10/15 meters, and in fact Circeo was an island. Retreating, the sea dug a whole series of coastal caves, and the Grotta delle Capre (so called because it seems that the shepherds used it to protect the goats during rainy days) is one of these. In ancient times it seems to have been called "Grotta della Maga" because here, legend has it, the Sorceress Circe elaborated her spells. It is accessed from a descent called "Sentiero Marcello"
