Demanio forestale di Randello, Public forest domain near Punta Braccetto, Italy

The Randello forest domain is a public forestry area on Sicily's southern coast that spans approximately 157 hectares and is dominated by pine trees. The territory extends all the way to the Mediterranean Sea and includes a small coastal inlet where forest and beach meet.

The coastal strip between Punta Braccetto and Scoglitti was once a private hunting reserve. It now forms part of the Demanio Forestale di Randello, a protected natural area that the Sicilian Region has not yet formally recognised. The pine wood and the beach of Randello lie within the municipality of Ragusa, next to the Pino d'Aleppo nature reserve.

Within the forest stand the ruins of necropolises belonging to the archaeological complex of Kamarina, the Greek colony on Sicily's southern coast. Visitors walking the pine woods can come across these burial grounds, which tie the area to that ancient settlement.

The area has many walking paths through Mediterranean vegetation with pines, holm oaks, cypress, myrtle, and eucalyptus trees. Visitors should allow time to explore different areas and experience the variety between forest paths and the coastal region.

The forest takes its name from the Randello beach, the stretch most visitors know, while the pinewood behind it was once a private hunting reserve. The area is not yet officially recognised by the Sicilian Region as a protected reserve, a status that has been debated.
