The
Riserva
dello
Zingaro
is
situated
within
the
Province
of
Trapani
(Sicily)
and,
belonging
to
the
Comune
of
San
Vito,
it
consists
of
a
magical
stretch
of
coastline
interspersed
with
spectacular
beaches.
There
are
two
entrances
which
can
be
reached
by
road,
each
with
a
car
park.
The
northern
entrance
is
convenient
to
drive
to
from
San
Vito
Lo
Capo
while
the
southern
entrance
can
be
reached
along
the
road
from
the
seaside
town
of
Castellammare.
It
seems
impossible
that
there
still
exist
a
place
such
as
this.
A
long
line
of
peaked
walls,
harsh
headlands,
magnificent
in
let,
deep
indentations,
underwater
grottoes
and
tunnels,
low
reefs,
narrow
valleys,
fantastic
pebbly
sandy
beaches
that
reflect
in
the
incontaminated
sea
of
costantly
changing
colours;
once
blue
now
azure,
tourquoise,
light
blue,
further
out,
the
deep
blue
sky.
It
is
always
limpid,
always
calm.
This
is
the
sea
of
Zingaro,
a
few
kilometres
of
unique
coastal
landascape,
splendid
and
prodigal
with
continual
surprises
The
Zingaro
Reserve
has
a
large
variety
and
abundance
of
rare
and
endemic
plants,
as
well
as
a
rich
fauna.
The
highly
varied
ecological
niches
give
a
great
diversity
which
is
not
easily
found
in
others
parts
of
the
island.
In
the
Zingaro
Reserve
at
least
39
species
of
birds
nest
and
mate,
mainly
birds
of
prey,
including
the
peregrine
falcon,
the
common
kestrel
and
the
common
buzzard.
The
area
has
also
a
rich
archaeological
past;
for
example
the
spectacular
Grotta
dell'Uzzo,
it
was
one
of
the
first
prehistoric
settlements
in
Sicily.
The
reserve
has
a
complex
network
of
paths,
shelters,
water
taps,
picnic
areas,
museums,
carpark,
and
other
amenities;
there
are
no
roads
and
it
can
only
be
visited
on
foot.
