It was the first Nature Reserve in Sicily to be recognized and it is unique from both the panoramic and naturalistic point of view. Seven kilometres of breathtaking coast with its deep or high cliffs and unpolluted coves, with its unparalleled colourful and crystal clear sea where spontaneous Mediterrranean plants lushly grow, like the dwarf palms and the myrtle bushes, and where more than 40 species of birds nest which can't be found elsewhere in the island.
From an archaeological point of view there are some very important prehistorical sites left by man in the Uzzo sea caves. The Nature Reserve is only open to walkers with entrances at Scopello and S.Vito Lo Capo, and it is well organized with paths, shelters, fountains, museums, parking and picnic areas
