Punta Aderci è a location not far from the center of Vasto. It is a Regional Nature Reserve that reminded me of the Isle of Wight in England. The Punta Aderci Reserve stretches five kilometers of coastline and is dotted with several sand and pebble beaches, one more beautiful than the other. The route opens with Punta Penna beach, followed by Libertini beach, the small beach of Punta Aderci precisely and the long Mottagrossa beach that closes the circle on breathtaking views. It is precisely Mottagrossa beach è that was listed among the 15 most beautiful beaches in Italy in the list compiled in 2017 by Skyscanner, a portal dedicated to travel.
Merit the state of the water, the cleanliness of the beaches, the surrounding scenery and, of course, the positive opinion of satisfied visitors. The entire Mottagrossa coastline è flanked by an elevated path, about twenty meters above sea level, which canò be walked or biked to discover pine forests, valleys and Mediterranean scrub. aderci-puntaBut in general the Reserve canò be explored in a variety of ways, in addition to hiking trails to be done on foot or mountain-bike there’è the alternative of canoeing. Offshore, dolphins of the genus Stenella are easily spotted while in some caves it is possible to admire the Halymenia floresia, considered the most beautiful red seaweed in the Mediterranean.
The dunes and river environment also lend themselves to naturalistic observation and birdwatching. Indeed, many species of birds winter and stop here. A landscape that varies and alternates between beaches and high cliffs, shrub patches and agricultural scenery with a common denominator: freedomà and an almost total absence of contamination by man.
