Butting onto the ruins of Eloro is a wonderful stretch of wild coastline encompassing three separate marshes and a number of sandy beaches. From the main entrance (signposted off the Noto–Pachino road), it's about a 10-minute walk to the nearest beach, where you can pick up a path along the coast.
The reserve, which boasts its own Swabian tower and an abandoned tuna-processing plant, is an important marine environment, providing sanctuary to resident and migratory birds, including the black-winged stilt, the stork, wild goose and flamingo. Observation posts enable you to watch in relative comfort.
