About the Local Area

ABOUT AREA

Santa Teresa Gallura is a village situated at the extreme northern end of Sardinia overlooking the beautiful Strait of Bonifacio. Its port ensures excellent links from and to La Maddalena island and Corsica - perfect for day trips. The sandy beach of La Rena Bianca is just a short stroll from the town centre where on clear days it is possible to admire the iconic white cliffs of Bonifacio. Porto Pozzo with its harbour and water sports is only 4km away, and during the spring you can admire lavender plants and sea poppies.

BEACHES

Rena Bianca
The beach at Rena Bianca is 700 metres long and is covered with very fine sand that at the water's edge has a pink reflection thanks to the tiny fragments of corals you can find there. The water colour shifts across what feels like a thousand tones of blue and the gently shelving nature of the shallow water means it's safe for children. The beach is well equipped and sheltered from the western wind.

Capo Testa
This sheltered beach has clear water and is surrounded by coves and Mediterranean vegetation ideal for snorkelling and diving.

Santa Reparata
This beach is very popular with scuba divers thanks to the excellent visibility and abounding rocks.

Visit the prehistoric remains including the Albucciu Nuraghe – a bronze age tower, the Tomba dei Giganti Coddu Vecchiu and the Li Muri Necropolis, scattered around the town.

Porto Cervo
An up-market town and centre of indulgence, it is located around two yacht harbours on the north side of this dazzling stretch of coastline, and being the main resort of the area and a paradise for the jet-set, it’s definitely worth a visit.
