Capo Testa and the Valle de la Luna (northern tip of Sardinia)
The Capo Testa on the northern tip of Sardinia can be described in good conscience as a natural wonder. Mighty granite formations, shaped into bizarre structures by wind and weather, broken up by individual bays and valleys, line the beautiful coast here. The main attractions for visitors are the Faro di Capo Testa lighthouse and the Valle della Luna valley. But the cape also has beautiful beaches to offer!

View of Capo Testa Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unique view. But be careful! Most of the viewpoints are not secured here and it is only an inattentive step that can lead to a 20-30m high fall! Attention!

Capo Testa Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Capo Testa is the northernmost point of Sardinia, one of the most naturalistically fascinating points of the whole island: the wind has smoothed the rocks until they are wavy, almost soft. On clear days it is possible to see the coasts of Corsica in the distance.

You can easily get to the islands around Maddalena by ferry. Is like a commuter bus and a cheap ferry experience.
