Did you know that the Tower Cerrano Marine Protected Area is the first of its kind in Abruzzo? Since 2010, year of its official birth, the Tower Cerrano marine protected area has always distinguished itself thanks to the numerous educational activities, researches and projects that have made it possible to make itself known on a tourist and scientific level.
After a series of restorations, the Tower Cerrano is now in excellent condition such as to allow the structure to accommodate, in addition to the headquarters of the Marine Protected Area "Tower Cerrano", also the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Abruzzo and Molise, the Museum of the Sea and the International Veterinary Training Center.
The Cerrano Park extends for about 7 km of unspoiled beach and characterized by the presence of sandy dunes close to a pine forest parallel to the coastline.
This protected area is the habitat of some rare plant species such as the Sea lily, the colored Silene and the saffron of the beaches, but its pine forest adjacent to the beach also hosts less sought-after vegetation such as the Aleppo pine and the nut pine tree where various animal species also find their space.
