Oasi Blu di Sperlonga

The Oasi Blu is a protected sea-and-shore area of about eleven hectares beside the villa of Tiberius at Sperlonga. Managed by WWF Italia, it encompasses a scrub-covered promontory, sandy seabed and small coves.

Why it matters

The oasis places marine conservation alongside the remains of the Roman villa and grotto. It forms part of a wider protected coastal landscape associated with the Parco Naturale Regionale Riviera d'Ulisse.

What to notice

The meeting of Mediterranean scrub, rocky shore and sandy seabed shapes the character of the area.

Context and history

The coastal area around the villa promontory and the shore toward Torre Capovento and Punta Cetarola is included in the protected landscape of the Parco Riviera d'Ulisse. WWF Italia manages the Oasi Blu beside the archaeological complex.
