Description

The dunes of Giovino are just at the end of the Giovino promenade, between the sea and a pine grove. Walking along the dune you arrive at the Castaci's mouth, which has a small pond before ending in the sea. This variety of environments is home to resident birds and a stopover for migrants. Furthermore, in the last years, it has been a nesting site for the Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) and it hosts the sea daffodil (Pancratium maritimum).

Italiano: Le dune di Giovino si trovano alla fine del lungomare di Giovino, tra il mare e la pineta. Camminando lungo le dune si arriva alla foce del Castaci, che forma un piccolo stagno prima di sfociare nel mare. Questa varietà di ambienti ospita sia uccelli stanziali sia migratori. Inoltre, negli ultimi anni è stato un sito di deposizione di Caretta caretta ed ospita il pancrazio (Pancratium maritimum)
