Lago di Sabaudia

Lago di Sabaudia is a shallow water body fed by freshwater springs and tidal exchanges along the Tyrrhenian coast in the Province of Latina. Its shoreline features dense reed beds and dune vegetation that create distinct ecological zones for wildlife.

The lake took shape over thousands of years through natural sediment deposition and dune migration along the coast. In the 20th century it became protected as part of Circeo National Park and later designated under the Natura 2000 network.

The lake remains central to local fishing traditions and supports educational initiatives that teach visitors about wetland ecosystems. These activities reflect how the community has learned to live alongside this natural environment.

The Giovanni XXIII Bridge offers the clearest views and connects the dune area to Sabaudia town for easy access. From here you can observe the water and wildlife most comfortably, especially during calm weather.

The water body serves as a crucial stopover for migratory birds traveling between Africa and Europe, allowing them to rest during their long journeys. Designated areas permit kayaking and quiet exploration, offering visitors rare chances to observe these traveling flocks.
