    My family and I were vacationing nearby and taking advantage of a couple of windy days we visited this natural oasis. Guided tour on July 16 made all the more interesting thanks to our guide Joseph who passionate about his work with his stories and anecdotes on plants and animals sent us his emotions by describing the history of the place and its features while captivating the attention of 8-year old daughter and taking us to a vantage point from which we could see from above the morass of birds near the the sea. Unfortunately we didn't get to see a few animals. Cost 8 euros for adults and 4 euros for children well spent. The next day we went back to visit the oasis in bicycle riding quietly in the Woods on an avenue closed to traffic and in narrow streets surrounded by olive trees. All really nice. Only minus the dirty sea beach of waste taken from the sea and people just waste of all kinds who leaves civil at the beach

    We decided to visit this park thinking to find the equivalent of the Marquenterre Bay, with its trails and its observatories to birds. Bad we took because after moult hesitations to find the entrance to the site, we of the turn back: the Park does not visit without a guide. You steered us to a parking lot a little more where far from the only free course, the trail del Pesce if my memories are good. An hour of market go back to cross (without the possibility to enter), a small forest not maintained then two marshes seen from a distance and arrive finally on a foul "beach", which is actually a kind of discharge. All on-site stamped WWF. We also appreciate that visitors to the site, which would normally be of the nature lovers, give up their waste in the parking lot before the trail or in the olive grove that borders! But anyway, waste, cigarette butts etc, we saw all over Apulia, even on the most beautiful beaches, to believe that tourists and inhabitants are completely hermetic to the notion of ecology. Everything ends up in the sea, it is very disturbing. In short, no need to move you to the Cesine Park, go in the Somme Bay if you love nature and birds.

    Because of poor organization and carelessness in facing the beach, this is an example of how you can turn a paradise in hell. I had enquired by email to take a walk with a guide (which seems to be mandatory), and following the instructions we went on a Sunday without a reservation at the entrance of the reserve and we found a sign where there are directions to get to a meeting place that we tried for 40 minutes and while we tried to contact the reference numbers listed on the site and on the sign on site many times without receiving a response. It was a big disappointment and to this was added the surprise to find the beach full of waste taken from the sea. Really bad.
