The Regional Natural Reserve of Punta Aderci was created in 1998 and spans 5 Km from Punta Penna to the mouth of Sinello river further North. The reserve is a quiet, peaceful and undeveloped area with beaches, cliffs, grassland, and other vegetation, trabocchi (a trabocco is an old wooden fishing machine found on the Adriatic coast in this region). access to the Reserve and its beaches and trails are totally free; however, there are no services in the Reserve except at the entrance of Punta Penna opposite the parking where you can find showers, toilets, and drinking water. I visited by the Punta Penna entrance and walked the 1 Km road to the belvedere near the sea where you have amazing and stunning views of the sea, beaches, and trabocco. When I visited there was also a bus service for those unable to walk to the belvedere (cost: 1 Euro).
