The lagoon of STAGNONE is part of the Mediterranean Sea in front of Marsala (province of Trapani).
The lagoon is bounded by an island called “Long Island” due to its long geographical shape. Inside the lagoon there are the famous island of Mozia and another small island called Santa Maria.
The water level in the lagoon varies from a few centimeters to a maximum of 2 meters.
The strong point of the spot is that during the summer the water is always warm.
The salt pans are still today one of the peculiarities of the Riserva dello Stagnone and can be visited.
This is how the unexpected happen for pumping water and grinding salt.
Small and important microcosm where the waters are warm, low and placid and there is a brackish habitat that acts as an incubator for rare and precious fauna and flora species.
The main ingredient of such beauty is the lagoon formed because the large stretch of sea in front of it is almost completely closed by the Isola Grande, or Isola Lunga, an imposing natural breakwater that separates the gulf from the open sea, in the waters of which they meet art, history, culture and nature, offered, with silent generosity, to travelers who find themselves passing through these parts.
