ust 800 metres from the town is the Sa Riera park, a man-made nature reserve consisting of a Mediterranean forest, river and lake with an underground watering system all designed to encourage a wealth and diversity of plant and animal life.
The Massif of Cadiretes is a vast natural reserve which extends over most of the wider area of Tossa between the plain of La Selva and the coast. This wild, mountainous territory is intersected by river beds, lush valleys and hollows and has a special ecosystem born out of the Mediterranean climate combined with the high levels of humidity and rain here.
The result is a rich variety of flora and fauna which thrive here including many rare species that have been found along the six kilometres of protected coastline.
