Riserva naturale regionale orientata del Litorale Tarantino Orientale, Protected coastal reserve in Manduria, Italy.
The Riserva naturale regionale orientata del Litorale Tarantino Orientale is a protected coastal area with wetlands, sand dunes, and Mediterranean plants. Its varied habitats provide nesting sites and shelter for bird species including flamingos and herons.
The area was developed as a salt production site in the 18th century, where monks extracted and managed salt from seawater. This activity shaped the coastal landscape for generations.
The ruins along the coast tell the story of salt production that once shaped daily life and trade in this region. These structures remind visitors of how valuable this resource was to local communities.
The best way to explore the area is using marked trails that wind through different zones. Bring binoculars for bird watching and plan your visit for early morning or late afternoon hours.
The coastline contains multiple distinct habitats in a compact area, including forest zones, river mouths, and salt flats. This diversity allows visitors to discover several ecosystems in a single visit.
