Réserve naturelle des îles Cerbicale

The coastal reserve encompasses four main islands and two rocky islets, creating a protected marine environment in the Mediterranean Sea.

The French government designated this archipelago as a natural reserve on March 3, 1981, to safeguard its ecological resources.

The islands remain untouched by permanent human settlements due to the absence of drinking water sources throughout their history.

Access to the islands requires boat transportation, and regulations prohibit landing, fishing, and hunting to maintain environmental protection.

The reserve contains dense maquis vegetation reaching three meters in height and serves as a nesting site for Mediterranean sea birds.
