Capo Testa Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Capo Testa is one of Sardinia's most dramatic headlands, where you drop anchor amid a surreal landscape of giant wind-sculpted granite boulders tumbling into crystal-clear water. The anchorage sits near the tip of the promontory, giving you access to the rugged coastal paths that weave between the rocks and the ruins of an ancient Roman granite quarry — still visible and genuinely impressive up close. The water clarity here is exceptional, with visibility deep enough to make you want to stay in the mask and snorkel all afternoon. Santa Teresa Gallura is just a short dinghy ride away if you need to stock up or grab a meal ashore.
