Nothing to add to what other reviews have already said. The only thing I recommend: choose the afternoon time slot... going in the morning and having to get back up under the 1 PM sun isn't easy. For the rest, enjoy the sea and the beach.

An exceptional experience, a truly enchanting place! We went for the first session at 8:30: admission for those with reservations was quick (even those without reservations managed to get in around 9:00-9:30). The walk along the path is paved and well-maintained; the climb back up is a bit tiring simply because of the heat, but the beauty of the place more than makes up for it. Kudos to Legambiente, who does an extraordinary job preserving the reserve, ensuring order, and enforcing the rules. Useful information: Bumbrella: Can be rented for €10 + €10 deposit (refundable). The umbrella area is crowded and crowded, but it's worth it. Parking: On-street parking costs €5, but there's a large private parking area where you can simply leave a donation. A spectacular beach that's absolutely worth a visit!

Absolutely stunning! Fantastic scenery and a seabed teeming with fish. To get down, there's a 15-minute downhill walk, mostly on dirt.

Reservations are required, but if you can't make it, you can still get in early in the morning before 8:00 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m. Stunning and beautiful, needless to say.
