Recommended equipment : Digital SLR with a 300mm minimum preferably 400 or higher; closely camouflage clothes, copies of the place are quite elusive, some good advice and comfortable walking shoes. If you love taking pictures of sunset this is a wonderful place, so even a fisheye in good backpack is strongly recommended.

Best months : Best to avoid the summer, due to the large influx of tourists. I've been there in summer and I took photos only pines and other trees in the area :) The part that faces the lagoon has huts for ornithological observation, all in good condition!

How to get there : Follow the signs to Porto Ercole and about 2 km before entering the village, on the left, take the road to the beach Feniglia, leave your car in parking lots and continue for about 200 meters on the left-side until you find the path that leads to 'entrara the Reserve.

Visits : Admission is free on foot or by bicycle, and is facilitated by a lorry road that runs through the reserve along its entire length of about 6 km. Along the way there are, at intervals of about 1 km, milestones and information panels that indicate the exit to the sea leading to the beach.

Notes : The staff of the Forest made tours for groups (from? Office Administration Manager Tel 0566 40019).
