Laghi Alimini is a place rich in variety of birds, especially during the migration period. There a two lakes: Alimini Grande in the north and the smaller Alimini Piccolo in the south. Alimini Grande was generated by the continuous erosion of the sea, and extends in length for about 2.5 km and has a depth of about 4 meters. The percentage of salinity of the lake is almost the same value as that of the sea. The basin of Alimini Grande is surrounded almost completely by a rocky strip, richly covered with thick pine forests and Mediterranean scrub.
