The Natural Reserve of Torre Salsa, introduced in June 2000 and managed by the WWF, covers a long stretch of unspoilt and wild coastline that, together with the surrounding area, covers 740 hectares. In addition to the crystalline sea teeming with diverse varieties of fish, there is a wealth of rare plants: acacia, Aleppo pine, tamarisk and euphorbia. In the wetland reserve called "pantano", a variety of wildlife make their home, including the"Gallinelle d’aqua" and Tuffetto coot, as well as colonies of the beautiful multicolored gruccione. The famous loggerhead sea turtle, known as "caretta caretta", spawns here in a place amongst the sand dunes, it considers it to be an ideal habitat.
