Santa Teresa di Gallura

Santa Teresa di Gallura occupies a unique position in northern Sardinia, suspended between two worlds: on one side the Sardinian coast, on the other the cliffs of Corsica, seemingly within sight. The town rises on a headland directly facing the Strait of Bonifacio, with orderly streets, panoramic squares, and a harbor that sets the rhythm of daily life. The sea here is never still—currents, wind, and light constantly reshape it, creating ever-changing scenery.

The coastline alternates sandy beaches with rocky stretches full of character. Just a short distance from the center, wide, pale beaches such as Rena Bianca open toward the horizon, while nearby granite cliffs sculpted by the wind give way to wilder coves and seabeds that quickly shift from turquoise to deep blue. This coast marks the natural boundary between the Mediterranean and open sea, offering crisp, luminous landscapes.

Seen from the water, Santa Teresa appears as a balance between town and nature. A dinghy trip along this stretch allows you to experience very different settings within just a few kilometers: sheltered beaches, wind-swept headlands, more rugged coastlines, and sudden openings onto the Strait. Depending on sea conditions, routes can remain protected or venture toward the open horizon, with Corsica always present as a visual landmark. Navigation here feels dynamic and open, delivering a true sense of travel.

Santa Teresa di Gallura embodies a perfect synthesis of town, sea, and geography—a place where borders become landscape and every dinghy excursion tells the story of a constant dialogue between two islands separated by just a few kilometers of water.
