The part behind the sandy shoreline is bordered by a long succession of dunes that, towards the interior, give way to pine and ilex groves.
Within this area, there is a network of paths that allow all its environments to be visited. The sand, like the beach, is of volcanic origin, originating from the nearby inactive volcano of Roccamonfina, and the vegetation consists of Mediterranean scrub and especially the massive presence of pine trees.
Towards the sea, the Mediterranean maquis dominates. The vegetation is enriched by the presence of pioneer plants growing on the dunes close to the beaches. Based on surveys carried out in 2014, Arpac gave a rating of excellence in terms of water cleanliness. But its location is also strategic in terms of culture.

St Benedict chose this mountain to build a monastery that would house him and those monks who followed him from Subiaco. Over the centuries, the Abbey has known magnificence and destruction many times and has always risen stronger from its ruins.
It was destroyed by the Lombards and then by the Saracens, in 1349 there was a terrible earthquake, and in February 1944 it was almost razed to the ground by a bombing raid. It is the faithful reconstruction of the 20,000 square metres that can be seen when driving along the A1 motorway. On the peak of the mountain, 520 metres high, the monastery can be easily seen from afar and thus becomes a definite landmark of the area.
