17 Best Things to Do in Sicily, the Melting Pot of the Mediterranean | Condé Nast Traveler
"Stretching along the southeastern coast from Noto to Marzamemi, this car-free reserve links a series of protected beaches—from soft, blonde sands like Eloro and Calamosche to rockier coves and saline lagoons frequented by flamingos, marsh harriers, and storks—via long, brittle trails, and also shelters archaeological sites including the ancient Greek city of Eloro, Torre Sveva, and an old tuna fishery." - Rosalyn Wikeley
The Best Crowd-Free Beaches in Europe to Visit This Summer
"The seemingly boundless sands of Riserva Vendicari stretch out at the edge of a protected national park in Sicily, home to enchanting coves, rugged landscape, and very few sunbathers."
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.

Rough road in and parking €5 + €3.5 each for entry to national park. Great beach with glistening Ionian ocean.

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

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.
