The reserve is a great way to spend the afternoon. Allow yourself around 1-2 hours of a nice walk and top it with some sun tanning and swim in the sea if the weather allows. NOTE: this is not supposed to be a beach... this is a park to admire nature and birds, beach is an extra!Inside an interesting tonnara, yet the facilities and information point are closed for most of the year. Views are very nice, the salinas with birds a great treat for those who like bird-watching.Beaches inside are CLEAN. Beware - some schools like to send their pupils there after visiting the attractions in the area - can get noisy..
The beach is at least not swamped with visitors; the water is clear and the sand clean. If you arrive in the mid day do not expect to see birds. Birds are intelligent , they take shelter in the noon day heat. Some humanoids are less astute, so don't expect any escape from the sun's oppressive rays unless you bring your own umbrella.
Could be an interesting place, off the beaten track... but no toilets and not really family friendly. And for a place referred to as the Vendicari sands - there isn't much sand in evidence!
Fantastic riserva! The beach had one of the clearest water I swam in within Europe. too bad we did not plan ahead of time and had no food or drinks with us so we could not stay the whole day. If you go, plan accordingly and take all you ned with you and you will spend a memorable time.
There is an old tuna factory, which is atmospheric. We didn't see any birds -probably because we visited it late in the afternoon - but the place is amazing! You have to pay 3.50 euro to park your car, but no admission fee. Take with you something to eat or drink
A wonderful place to spend a few hours - a beautiful beach and nature park with flamingos in the lake. NB. Parking is on-site at EUR 3.50. It's only a short walk to the beach, but there are longer trails if you want to do them. The old tuna factory is atmospheric.
An amazing seaside place: the water is blue and transparent (meet small fishes while you swim too), with a clean free sandy beach and the typical Sicilian glade behind you. There is a bit to walk to reach this paradise but it worths: only bring a lot of iced cold water and light food or fruits as there is no refreshment to buy.
Go there and enjoy the lush of Vendicari. Nice beaches you can reach only after an enjoyable walking. Do not miss it.
I coldn't ressist. I ran along the sandy beach at low, clear water. The wind blew pleasant. I can be doing hand stands in the water and enjoyed. If there'll be still a nude beach, would have been perfect.
I'm totally in love with this place where the nature is still intact and everything moves and acts only following its rhythm...in front of the warm Mediterranean.
