This is where the northern entrance to the Zingaro Nature Reserve (Riserva naturale orientata dello Zingaro) is located. It stretches along one of the most scenic stretches of coastline between Castellammare del Golfo and San Vito lo Capo. "When the construction of a road along one of the most scenic coastal stretches from Castellammare del Golfo to San Vito lo Capo was planned at the end of the 1970s, there were considerable civil protests. The government then gave in and established the first nature reserve, Zingaro, on May 6, 1981 in Sicily. The reserve covers 1600 hectares and an approximately 7 km long coastal strip with small sandy bays and rough limestone cliffs. The highest elevation is Monte Speziale at 914 m. The karst area is crossed by rugged limestone cliffs and gullies washed out by water. The Mediterranean flora is characterized by olive and carob trees as well as dwarf palms (Chamaerops humilis) and provides a habitat for around 40 different bird species. Hawks, vultures and eagles find ideal living conditions here." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riserva_naturale_orientata_dello_Zingaro
