Capo Coda Cavallo, Sardinia's white sand

Located between Olbia city and the small village of San Teodoro, there is a small promontory of absolute charm for many tourists who come to Sardinia every year seeking the most unspoilt nature. It is Capo Coda Cavallo, an area that has remained almost untouched and protected from any human intervention, especially since its inclusion in the Tavolara Marine Protected Area in 1997. Easily reachable from Olbia Airport, as well as from the Port of Golfo Aranci, Capo Coda Cavallo is a strip of land that officially belongs to the municipality of San Teodoro.

We are not exaggerating when we say that we are on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline not only of eastern Sardinia, but of the entire Tyrrhenian Sea. Numerous beaches of soft white sand and water so crystal-clear that it almost looks like a postcard. Not only that, it is by looking up that you have the privilege of a beautiful view of the mysterious Molara island and a little further on, the majestic Tavolara island.

In this article, we will give you some tips and tricks on the places you absolutely cannot miss, as well as some suggestions on the best accommodation to explore this magical corner of Sardinia, Capo Coda Cavallo.

The bay of Capo Coda Cavallo is undoubtedly one of the most suggestive on the island, hosting a rich flora and fauna. In the north, Cala Suaraccia is a crescent-shaped beach of granite sand, which looks straight towards the Tavolara island.

The beach of Baia Salinedda, about 700 metres from the village, is a small lagoon where in ancient times salt used to be extracted. Small and reserved, it is characterised by white sand and a sea with turquoise and emerald green shades.

Not far away, the Capo Coda Cavallo beach (also known as Punta Est) is in a privileged position if you are seeking shelter from the mistral currents. It is one of the granite sand beaches with an incredible view of the islands of Tavolara and Molara.

Going towards San Teodoro, the beach of Cala Brandinchi is also called Little Tahiti precisely because of its soft white sand and the sea with a very shallow bottom for tens of metres, making it perfect for families with children.

Finally, we could not forget the sandy beach of Lu Impostu, a little less popular than Cala Brandinchi but still with nothing to envy. A natural pool surrounded by fluffy white dunes and lush vegetation.

If you want to immerse yourself in the wildest and most authentic nature of Capo Coda Cavallo, our advice is to fully experience the atmosphere of the place, following the rhythms and habits of the locals.
