Riserva naturale guidata Punta Aderci

Riserva naturale guidata Punta Aderci, Regional nature reserve and bay on the Adriatic coast in Vasto, Italy.

Riserva naturale guidata Punta Aderci is a protected coastal area along the Adriatic Sea featuring rocky headlands, sandy sections, and shallow waters that support different plant and animal communities. The reserve encompasses multiple coves with varying landscapes, from cliff formations to open water views.

The area lies within the Costa dei Trabocchi, a coastal region shaped for centuries by traditional wooden fishing structures built by local fishermen along this part of the Adriatic. These structures reflect centuries-old practices that remain visible in the region's character today.

The name comes from the rocky headland that defines this stretch of coast and serves as a landmark for the surrounding region. Visitors can observe how residents and naturalists work together to protect the area and its wildlife.

Visitors can reach the reserve from parking areas near Vasto, then access the coastal sections on foot or by bike to explore the different coves. The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon, when crowds are fewer and the views across the water are clearest.

The headland rises noticeably above the water and from its higher points offers surprising views inland toward distant mountains beyond the coast. This dual perspective of sea and distant peaks is what makes this particular spot memorable for visitors.
