Riserva Naturale Capo Rama, Terrasini
Sicily
Capo Rama is a small WWF reserve where the rock, full of fossil shells, drops in ledges to the sea. A flat loop crosses the fossil dune and dwarf-palm scrub past the ruined Torre Cala Rossa, with a view along the coast to Terrasini and, on clear days, the outline of Ustica.
