Playa Grande and the Irminio River Mouth Nature Reserve
Descrizione
Playa Grande is a peaceful seaside resort located in the territory of Scicli, appreciated for its golden beaches, crystal-clear sea, and relaxed atmosphere. Set in a highly valuable natural environment, it hosts the Irminio River Mouth Nature Reserve, established in 1985 to protect one of the last unspoiled stretches of coastline in southeastern Sicily. In this unique ecosystem — where the Irminio River flows into the Mediterranean Sea — there are sand dunes, Mediterranean scrub, and a rich habitat for numerous migratory and resident bird species. The area is ideal for hiking, birdwatching, and scenic walks along nature trails surrounded by a wild and evocative landscape. Playa Grande offers a perfect balance between seaside vacation and contact with nature, making it a top destination for those seeking peace, natural beauty, and environmental respect.
