But it's worth it!

Torre del Falcone is an incredible highlight, from here you have a wonderful view over the turquoise bay of La Pelosa, the Torre de Pelosa, the island of Piana and across to the Isola dell'Asinara, out to the open sea, as well as the east and west coasts of Stintino and the narrow headland across to Porto Torre.

Beautiful hike with magnificent viewpoints. The climb is sometimes a little steep with 2 walls in the rocks but it is passable. I recommend starting with the climb to the tower and then making swimming spots on the way back.

Asinara was once a prison island and served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II. Because the swamps had not yet been drained, many prisoners died of malaria. Convicted members of the mafia were held here until 1997.

Pelosa beach is a beautiful and very popular beach. The sand is clear and fine, while the sea shines with incredible shades of blue. Tends to get very crowded when the weather is nice. Protecting this wonder from the force of the open sea are the Isola Piana, so flat that it does not obstruct the view of the majestic rocks of Asinara behind it, and the suggestive dark stacks of Capo Falcone, on top of which the tower stands Falcone granite. At the foot of the rugged black shale promontory lies an islet dominated by the Pelosa tower, built in 1578 to control transit towards the gulf, today a distinctive element of the beach.

The Falcone tower is mentioned for the first time in the map of the military engineer Rocco Cappellino, sent to Sardinia by Emperor Charles V in 1552; it was probably built in 1577. Considering its strategic position, rather than defining it as a robust or simple tower (as defense towers were called), it could be considered more of a watchtower and signaling tower. The garrison consisted of two soldiers armed with two rifles and two pushguns. From up here, you can enjoy an extraordinary view of Asinara and the sea.
