Lo Stagnone, wind paradise

Lo Stagnone di Marsala, the largest lagoon in Sicily, is a breathtaking masterpiece where history, nature, and culture converge. This expansive, shallow lagoon is characterized by its mesmerizing salt pans (saline), ancient wind turbines, and the legendary Phoenician island of Mozia (Mothia), the heart of an ancient Punic settlement.

Designated a Riserva Naturale Orientata, the Stagnone offers a world-renowned spectacle, especially at dusk, when the sunset bathes the still, reflective waters and the salt basins in brilliant gold, orange, and pink hues. The consistent winds and flat, shallow water also make it an international haven for kitesurfing and windsurfing.

More than just a beautiful landscape, it is a critical stopover for migratory birds—including the stunning pink and white flamingos—and a living museum preserving a millennia-old tradition of salt production. Lo Stagnone is a must-see destination, capturing the quintessential spirit of Western Sicily. Test Why not ?
