😊 Great rock formation nestled in a small bay, which also invites you to swim 🤿. The elephant is particularly well visible when viewed from the side, from the left, from the bay.
The rocks in the region around Isola Isuledda (Isola dei Gabbiani) and Porto Pollo in Gallura (North Sardinia) are mainly composed of granite. This is typical for the entire Gallura and has been shaped over millions of years by wind, waves, and salt into the characteristic, often bizarre forms that can be seen today.
