Reviews from visitors:
We have come to the ticket office where they toled us that it is closed already from 30th August 2020 because of a big fire. And now the rocks are falling down and it is dangerous. So it is not possible to visit.
They don't know how long this prohibition will be enforced. So better call them and check if it is already open.
Riserva naturale dello zingaro was the first natural reserve set up in Sicily in May 1981, located almost completely in the municipal territory of San Vito Lo Capo. It stretches along some seven kilometers of unspoilt coastline of the Gulf of Castellammare and its mountain chain, the setting of steep cliffs and little bays. The Zingaro Reserve has a large variety and abundance of rare and endemic plants, as well as a rich fauna. The highly varied ecological niches give a great diversity which is not easily found in others parts of the island. In the Zingaro Reserve at least 39 species of birds nest and mate, mainly birds of prey, including the peregrine falcon, the common kestrel and the common buzzard. The area has also a rich archaeological past; for example the spectacular Grotta dell'Uzzo was one of the first prehistoric settlements in Sicily. The reserve has a complex network of paths, shelters, water taps, picnic areas, museums, carpark, and other amenities; there are no roads and it can only be visited on foot. The Zingaro Reserve incorporates not only the land and beaches, but also the adjacent sea. The beautiful beaches, pebbled and lapped by the clear blue sea, can be reached along various rather steep paths.
The beach is amazing, clear water even with all those boats and people. Be aware to wear closed shoes and mask due to the coronavirus (both mandatory). We arrived around 11Am and we parked far away from the entrance, be ready to walk. The ticket costs 5 euro for adults. There is only one food truck at the entrance that sells food and drink. Bring something to improvise a tent (towels, pareo) because umbrella are not allowed and the sun can be very strong. If you like snorkeling, it worth bringing your kit.
Drove all the way here only to find it closed due to hot weather and wind
Closed for 3 days without any reason given. They don't know when it'll reopen. The locals say it's because the park rangers don't want to work. You only find out once you've driven an hour down the winding road. Their defence is that they announced it in the morning on their Facebook page...
