Torre Salsa Nature Reserve
Riserva naturale orientata Torre Salsa
A coastal nature reserve managed by the WWF. Six kilometers of undeveloped beach connect with white gypsum cliffs, the water is clear, and it is a nesting site for loggerhead turtles.
The reserve lies near Siculiana, about a 30-minute drive from Agrigento. You reach a parking area by dirt road, then walk down to the beach. The coastline is made up of white limestone, gypsum cliffs and dunes. Wildflowers bloom in spring, and in summer you can swim and snorkel. The beach has no facilities, so bring your own supplies and take your rubbish with you. Please respect the fences and signs in the turtle nesting areas.
