Tips from the Community

Nathalie De Wandeler
March 16, 2025, Riserva Naturale di Torre Guaceto

Update March 15, 2025: This nature reserve is not worth a visit because of the extremely polluted environment by litter. During the entire walk there is both waste washed up by the sea and dumped on site. Very sad to see…

Inside the Torre Guaceto nature reserve there is the sandy beach of Penna Grossa, the only beach in the reserve. It can be accessed from the Penna Grossa road which leads to the free beach. Excellent for a stop and relaxation.

Suggestive walk among the sedimentary rocks of Punta del Serrone in Punta Penne. Historic defensive positions from the recent war past.

The Torre di Guaceto is a watchtower built in the 16th century by the Aragonese to defend themselves against Saracen raids. In the 18th century it played an important role for Venetian and Spanish merchant traffic in the Adriatic Sea, until its decline in the 19th century. Today it is located within the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, and houses a WWF headquarters with a small museum.
