Porto Caleri Coastal Botanical Garden Site Features

The dune sequence

Beach, foredune, fixed dune and slack in order, each with its own vegetation. The point of the whole place.

The woodland

Pine and holm oak behind the dunes, cool and dense, and a complete contrast to the open sand a hundred metres away.

The lagoon edge

The far end of the walk reaches the brackish water behind the dune belt, with its own salt-tolerant plants and its birds.

The boardwalks

Raised walkways keep visitors off the dunes, which is why the dunes are still here.
