The Historical Coastal Naturalistic Path in Scopello
The Historical Coastal Nature Trail of Torre di Scopello thus constitutes an itinerary to discover historical places and sites, such as Torre Doria (1595) and the Casamatta (1942), overlooking the Faraglioni and the ancient Tonnara.
Due to its strategic location, the Casamatta is now also open for internal visits, featuring an interesting exhibition.

Sea and Comfort: A Dive into Nature
The trail is also equipped with natural panoramic terraces among the lush nooks of dwarf palms and other species: the areas are furnished with comfortable sun loungers, above which shading sails create the perfect setting for refreshment and relaxation, in complete harmony with the surrounding nature, offering a suggestive view of the Faraglioni of Scopello and the Zingaro Nature Reserve.
For our guests who love relaxation, we offer an exclusive equipped platform that seems to be suspended above the sea, between the land and the Faraglioni: the impression will be like standing on the bow of a ship. In this space, you will enjoy a truly breathtaking panorama in privacy.
Sustainable Tourism: Territorial Enhancement and Redevelopment Project
Therefore, the requalification of this coastal portion is aimed at promoting sustainable tourism that can involve and interest those who care, like the promoters of this project, about the unspoiled beauty of nature and the sea.

Projects and Objectives
In line with a responsible and conscious approach to the landscape, a collaboration with the Botanical Garden of Palermo, represented by director Rosario Schicchi and Dr. Agr. Enrico Russo, is being carried out to map and catalog the different plant species in the area in order to study their changes and preserve their evolutionary stages.
The marine element also plays a fundamental role in the educational project. Efforts have been made to make the unquestioned symbol of this coastal section, the Faraglioni di Scopello, accessible to visitors, reachable by sea from the Vasca della Regina.
The fundamental characteristic of the spot is the presence of Posidonia Oceanica on the seabed, an endemic marine plant of the Mediterranean Sea, which constitutes the privileged habitat for colorful fish species that populate this pristine corner of the coast.
