Le Cesine Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Le Cesine Nature Reserve is a protected area located in the province of Lecce. It is one of the last wetlands on the Adriatic coast, where there are two brackish ponds separated from the sea by sand dunes. It houses a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna, is managed by the WWF and can be visited every day of the year only accompanied by the guides of the reserve and with reservations required.

Ponte di Carlo Ruins

Highlight • Bridge

Small bridge on wooden beams that allows you to cross the marsh of the Le Cesine Nature Reserve to reach the beach. The Reserve can be visited with WWF guides by reservation but it is always possible to walk this stretch of path because the beach is a state-owned area and outside the territory of the Reserve. With a little attention, you can even cross the bridge by bicycle.
