The reserve can only be accessed on foot and takes around two hours in each direction, which makes it popular with hikers. |

There are two entrances which can be reached by road, each with a car park. The northern entrance is convenient to drive to from San Vito Lo Capo while the southern entrance can be reached along the road from the seaside town of Castellammare del Golfo or from the beach at La Tonnara di Scopello. Most people choose to park at either one of the car parks, hike the two hours or so to the opposite end and then hike back to the car park, making for a round-trip of around 4 or 5 hours.
Of course, another option is to simply park yourself on one of the beaches for the day. Among the best of the eight or so beaches in the reserve are Cala Capreria and Cala Tonnarella dell'Uzzo.
Places of interest nearby include Macari Beach, La Tonnara di Scopello and Guidaloca Beach while Palermo Airport is an hour and a half away by car, a distance of 97 kilometres. The recommended accommodation for the reserve is the Hotel La Tavernetta which is situated close to the southern car park in the village of Scopello.
