Punta Coda Cavallo

Punta Coda Cavallo stretches across a low, gently contoured headland along the coast between San Teodoro and the Tavolara – Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area. Here, the land meets the sea softly, forming small bays, pale beaches, and smooth rocky stretches, always accompanied by clear, luminous water. The absence of steep relief and the natural shape of the gulf make this coastline especially sheltered and harmonious.

The sea is almost always calm, encouraging a slow and relaxed pace. The seabed slopes gently, alternating between light sand and rocky areas, creating a palette of colors ranging from very pale green to soft turquoise. The islands facing the coast—such as Tavolara and Molara—define the horizon and help shield the area from stronger winds, enhancing the sense of protection and continuity. It is a balanced landscape, where each element seems perfectly in place.

Seen from the sea, Punta Coda Cavallo appears as an orderly sequence of small coves, intimate beaches, and low headlands, flowing naturally without visual breaks. A dinghy trip along this coast allows for easy movement between short navigation stretches and frequent stops, always choosing the best water according to conditions. Navigation here is simple and relaxing, ideal for swimming in calm waters, lingering stops, and quiet moments of observation, with Tavolara constantly present as a majestic backdrop.

Punta Coda Cavallo represents one of the most balanced expressions of Sardinia’s northeastern coast: a place where the sea does not dominate but gently accompanies, turning a dinghy excursion into an experience of light, silence, and natural harmony.
