    Tips

    June 16, 2025

    The entrance from the South to the Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro is guaranteed by a car and camper parking lot (small ones...), ticket office and small refreshment point where you can make the last refueling before entering the reserve. After the ticket office you will no longer find toilets and points of purchase of food or drinks so make sure you do it before starting the excursion. The point of no return is physically identified by an unfinished tunnel that is a symbol of the history of this nature reserve. In fact, in detail it is a symbol of the civil protest that about 3000 people started in 1980 preventing the start of the road connection works between Scopello and San Vito Lo Capo. Thanks to this peaceful rebellion, the process of establishing the first nature reserve of the Sicily Region was set in motion. Some photos that I post describe its history.

      Must visit. Unspoiled place, beautiful beaches. I recommend walking shoes and lots of water in summer!
