Parco naturale regionale Dune costiere da Torre Canne a Torre S.Leonardo

The park covers more than 1,000 hectares along roughly 8 kilometers of coastline and includes sandy beaches, dunes, wetlands, and Mediterranean plant life. Different ecosystems blend together through natural water channels that run across the terrain.

The area contains traces from the period of the ancient Via Traiana, an important trade route that passed through this region. Centuries-old olive groves and traditional farmhouses show how people have continuously used this landscape.

Local fishing traditions and water management practices have shaped how people interact with this coastal landscape for generations. You can see evidence of these customs in the structures and methods still visible along the wetlands and channels.

Visitors can follow marked walking trails and cycling routes through different habitats. Information centers help with navigation and suggest the best paths depending on the time of day or season.

The park features natural channels called 'lame' that serve as both drainage systems and ecological passages for wildlife. These waterways allow migrating birds and resident animals to move freely through the connected habitats.
