Rena di Ponente - Rena di Levante - Capo Testa - Santa Teresa Gallura - Sardinia

In Santa Teresa Gallura, along the narrow isthmus connecting the Capo Testa peninsula to the mainland, there are two beautiful beaches: Rena di Ponente (also known as La Taltana Beach) and Rena di Levante. Although they differ in shape, they are particularly popular on windy days because their location (upwind or downwind) allows visitors to enjoy calm waters in any weather. Striking granite rocks, skillfully sculpted by the wind and sea into strange and unique shapes, make this enchanting stretch of coastline even more captivating. It is further enriched by fragrant, colorful Mediterranean vegetation that hides splendid rocky or sandy coves. The beach at Rena di Ponente (better known as Capo Testa on the left) is a long, wind-sheltered stretch of sand characterized by warm, soft, fine white sand, lapped by an incredibly crystal-clear sea with iridescent colors ranging from turquoise to azure, passing through emerald green. The seabed remains shallow for a long stretch, a feature that makes it particularly suitable for children swimming and for those who enjoy long, relaxing walks in the water. The European Blue Flag—awarded by the FEE since 2012—flies proudly over this beach, a guarantee of a sea that’s... top-notch!! The beach at Rena di Levante (better known as Capo Testa on the right) begins with a low cliff that gradually gives way to the beautiful Capicciolu beach, better known as Zia Colomba Beach—a stretch of fine golden sand lapped by clear, shallow waters teeming with marine life. Here you can admire the ruins of Tibula, an ancient Roman colony from which ships laden with granite—used to adorn the palaces of Rome—set sail. This entire area is dotted with coves hidden among the fragrant and colorful Mediterranean scrub Amenities: beach bar, beach umbrella and lounge chair rentals, boat and pedal boat rentals. How to get there: From the town of Santa Teresa Gallura, drive about 3 km toward Capo Testa
