Breathtaking views, nature trails, the beaches of "Baia d'Arena" and "Casa del Conte", and gastronomic excellences such as the white fig.
The Aleppo pine forest of Ripe Rosse, included in the European network of geosites in 2013, is a precious natural asset of Montecorice. The town is made up of the hamlets of Agnone, Case del Conte, Ortodonico, Fornelli, Zoppi, and Cosentini. Fishing is a centuries-old tradition in the villages of Agnone Cilento and San Nicola a Mare. In the summer, it is possible to go out on a boat with the fishermen, watch or participate in one of the various types of fishing practiced, or take excursions to discover the coast. The beach of Baia d'Arena is a popular destination for vacationers due to its fine, golden sand and the sandy dune behind the beach, which still preserves a rich and lush vegetation. In the hinterland, you can visit the historic centers of the hilly areas, in particular Ortodonico, which is perched around the tower of the 16th-century marquis' palace built by the Amoresano family. Finally, the Montanari area, included in the integral reserve of the park, downstream of Mount Stella, is a natural monument where you can observe agricultural, barren, and wild landscapes rich in flora and fauna.
