The south-western shoreline of the peninsula remains in a near natural state, in particular the section from the part below Gurbicza to the ferry terminal has remained intact. The shore preserves its natural state at Sajkod and in the Bozsai Bay. Bozsai Bay is one of the last almost undisturbed reed bays of the Lake Balaton. White water lilies bloom on islets among the reeds. Hay-fields, meadows and the remains of fenlands run along the bay on the shore, where lax-flowered orchids, common cottongrass and Siberian iris grow, along with a host of other protected plants. The reeds offer nesting sites to many rare bird species, such as the summer goose and the western marsh harrier. Among the mammals, the specially protected otter is noteworthy.
