The Castellammare coast
CalaTonnarelladell'Uzzo
The large beach in the north of the Zingaro.
It is the first beach you meet entering the reserve from the north: very beautiful, easy to reach and therefore crowded in summer. It is one of the largest coves in the Zingaro.
The Zingaro runs along 7 km of coast and almost 1,700 hectares, with cliffs reaching the 913 metres of Monte Speziale and dropping steeply to the sea. The last farming family lived here until about 1960, and even today goods are carried by mule.
The reserve exists thanks to the protest march of 18 May 1980, which stopped the coastal road works begun in 1976: that is why there is no road here, only paths and sea.
