Capo Testa, Santa Teresa Gallura

4.8

#1 of 157 in Wildlife in Sardinia

#Wildlife Area, #Nature / Park, #Must See

The protected beaches of Capo Testa are a magnet for swimmers. The rocky, granite peninsula, which is attached to Sardinia's mainland by an isthmus, is only about ten kilometers (6.2 miles) across. The Romans once used the small peninsula to mine the granite for their magnificent cities. The caves where the stone was quarried were last used as a source of building materials in the early 20th century. Pull on a pair of shoes with a strong grip and hike around the eroded rocks to admire the formations smoothed and shaped by the wind. Put Capo Testa into our Santa Teresa Gallura trip maker website to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Santa Teresa Gallura.

Ένα από τα ωραιότερα σημεία με απίστευτη θεα και ιδιαίτερα γραφικο. Η παραλία είναι εκπληκτική με πεντακάθαρα νερα και λευκή ψιλή άμμο. more »

One of the nicest spots with incredible views and particularly picturesque. The beach is great with crystal clear waters and white sand.

Walk around the entire cape and enjoy unbeatable views. My son called it “an open air stone museum”. Fantastic!!!

One of the most suggestive places in north Sardinia. Don't miss it when the "Maestrale" wind blows strong and the high waves show all their power crashing against the rocks... It's a must see show of Nature ;)

Despite being busy, this is a beautiful place. Especially recommended: walk around the granite rocks at Capo Testa.
