Riserva naturale orientata Oasi Faunistica di Vendicari

Absolutely beautiful reserve. Amazing bird life and very hot in summer bring water and be prepared bathrooms are more of a bush wee !! There is however along the trail the most incredible beach for swimming and just the most unbelievable beautiful clear water. Take a cozzie. And definitely wear it because there are no changing rooms.

Vendicari is beautiful. With the ticket you get access to 5 beaches. Walking to each take plenty of time so decide on one or two to visit if you really want to walk. Otherwise go by car. Note. The road is bad. You will find many cars coming and going both ways. Be careful not to scratch your car against the plants/branches coming towards you. A bit of a pain in the bum. Otherwise the beach is beautiful.

Amazing and quiet place, perfect not just for the birdwatching but also for an easy walk beach to beach. It's possible to reach every beach by walking, starting from one pf the five gates of the natural site

Surprisingly beautiful walk, spotted flamingos! Make sure to take sun protection as there are large portions with no shade.

Great place to observe flamingos and other birds and enjoy the nature. Pity it is so difficult to find info on opening hours Opening hours in February (not sure if these are anyhow different in other months) were 9.30 am till 4 pm. Entrance fee (3.5 EUR) to be paid by card only.

It was a great decision to go there. We saw flamingos on the distance but also it was a nice walk around. We were at the beginning of December and it was nice weather so we could see the birds. Amazing experience.

Beautiful place, clean and warm water (October). To get there you need to walk around 20 min from the nearby parking. E trance is 3.5 euro. You can go for hikes by the coast (2km, 7km)

Crystal clear sea water as soon as you pass the sea grass (natural and absolutely normal on site). Snorkeling is such a pleasure, especially close to the rocks of the Tonnara. Very well kept natural reserve with a long stretch of paths, the bird watchers will love this site as herons and flamingos (but not just) are easily spotted in the lagoons. Well worth the €3.50 ticket entrance, which, by the way, buys you access to other sites of the reserve during the day.

Love it here! Beautiful reserve. Miles of nature trails. Perfect for walking, hiking, biking. Go to the Long Beach, seim in the beautiful azure sea! Watch the flamingos. Visit the old tuna cannery. There is so much to see and do here. It truly is a very special place.
