History and Origins of the Red Rocks of Arbatax The surrounding area was once a rich and profitable mine. Here, miners extracted red porphyry—from which the rocks are made—a lava stone that, at the time, was used to build and beautify the port, villages, and nearby towns.

In addition to bathing in this beautiful sea, on this beach in Santa Maria Navarrese you can visit the monumental olive trees.

Impressive tower. Very beautiful.

The Arbatax Tower, or San Miguel (St. Michael) Tower, built in the 16th century, was originally known in Arabic as "Arba a Tasciar," meaning "the fourteenth tower." This tower is believed to have given its name to Arbatax, which developed around it over time. The tower has a height of 15 meters and has several levels, including a cistern, a first floor and a parade ground. The first floor served as accommodation for the garrison soldiers and had direct access to the parade ground via an internal staircase integrated into the structure. The tower was equipped with cannons and thrusters. The current access, which includes a brick staircase with an iron railing, was built in the 19th century.

The red rock was the goal.

Beautiful pine forest with a sandy but pedalable bottom. Excellent for hot days being all in the shade
