Piccola Pesca di Torre Guaceto

Two thousand hectares of clean sea in three zones, of which only Zone C may be fished. The marine area belongs to the reserve of the same name, whose land side carries Fiaschetto tomatoes, olives and artichokes. Archaeology inside the reserve shows fishing along this coast already in the Bronze Age, between 3500 and 1200 BC.
