These values are linked to nature and history that distinguish an area so rich in attractions for tourists traveling. Of extraordinary beauty is the coast whose beaches are caressed by a sea, already praised by Virgil and awarded the Blue Flag and Sail of Legambiente.

In the southern part of marina are a few examples, today very rare dune where the Mediterranean sea lily blooms, while the Ginestra of Cilento is on the rocks of Punta Telegrafo whose apex stands the tower, which dominates today a landscape dotted by beautiful beaches, splendid coves and romantic gorges.

The depths of Silver Bay, and Bay of Rondinelle behind the "Scuoglio rinanti" reveal the amazing underwater worlds diving enthusiasts.

From the sea by looking to the mainland can be seen the immense stretches of centuries-old olive trees which produces an oil whose reputation is further enhanced through the national circuit of Oil City.
