A very fascinating place with the river that flows into the sea, passing through a fine and golden beach, not far from the magnificent <a href=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/en\/province-of-trapani\/selinunte-the-largest-archaeological-park-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"What to see in Selinunte \u2013 Europe\u2019s largest archaeological park\">Selinunte<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is made fascinating by an ancient railway line, built about 1 century ago and definitively abandoned around the 60s.

of Foce Belice you have to go to the &#8220;Marinella di Selinunte holiday home&#8221;, where you can park and then continue on foot<\/strong> . There is also a <strong>small kiosk<\/strong> here, in case you want to buy some soft drinks or ice cream. To reach the beach and then delve into the reserve, you will be able to walk along two paths, one made of beaten earth and one consisting of a wooden platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once you arrive you can spend the day in the beaches that are located in the direction of Selinunte, or on the free beach<\/strong> going towards the mouth of the river \/ Porto Palo. If you love nature and walking, I recommend a walk along the shoreline going toward Porto Palo (opposite direction from the lidos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spiaggia-casello-11\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Casello_11_beach\"><\/span>Casello 11 beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First you will find yourself on the beach &#8220;Casello 11&#8221;, the name that comes from an ancient railway tollbooth nearby. <strong>A very beautiful beach with lush coastal vegetation and a few donkeys raised in the wild<\/strong> . In this area <strong>you might meet some nudists<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spiaggia-le-solette\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_Solette_beach\"><\/span>Le Solette beach <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing on, you reach the &#8220;Le Solette&#8221; beach, which is also very <strong>beautiful and wild<\/strong> , <strong>with vineyards that almost reach the sea<\/strong> . This beach is quite far from the reserve, so you can also decide to visit it separately, reaching it by car. It will not be easy, but it is not impossible either, you have to take the dirt road near the &#8220;Villino Paradiso&#8221; and then continue on foot along a path in the middle of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo-1024x594.jpg\" alt=\"Le Solette beach, Belice estuary reserve\" class=\"wp-image-6452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo-1024x594.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Solette_di_Porto_Palo.jpg\">Except Ognibene<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\"> CC BY 2.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo_vigneto.-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Le Solette beach, Belice estuary reserve\" class=\"wp-image-6451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo_vigneto.-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo_vigneto.-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo_vigneto.-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Solette_di_Porto_Palo_vigneto..jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Solette_di_Porto_Palo,_vigneto..jpg\">Except Ognibene<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\"> CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mappa-interattiva-riserva-foce-belice-punti-d-interesse-in-viola\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interactive_map_Riserva_Foce_Belice_%E2%80%93_Points_of_interest_in_purple\"><\/span>Interactive map Riserva Foce Belice &#8211; Points of interest in purple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1POax_KjxeBNmwXGvPVM5e7Sj964Zrp_J\" width=\"999\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cosa-vedere-nei-dintorni-della-riserva-foce-belice\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_in_the_surroundings_of_the_Belice_Foce_Reserve\"><\/span>What to see in the surroundings of the Belice Foce Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The natural reserve of Foce Belice is located in the province of Trapani.
