Short description of Capo Testa

Capo Testa is a granite headland on the northern tip of Sardinia, joined to the coast near Santa Teresa Gallura by a narrow sandy isthmus. Wind and sea have carved its pink and grey rocks into towering shapes, and climbers come for its boulders. The isthmus holds two beaches, Rena di Ponente and Rena di Levante, facing different winds. Paths lead past a lighthouse and the quarries where the Romans cut granite, down into the hidden Valle della Luna and to the clear water of Cala Spinosa. Sunsets over the Strait of Bonifacio make Capo Testa one of the island's most photographed places.
