To the west of Santa Teresa di Gallura is Capo Testa – its promontory is connected to the mainland by an isthmus – a stretch of sand which offers the amazing beaches of Rena di Ponente (on the west side) and Rena di Levante (on the east side). Capo Testa is known for its white sandy coves, its crystal-clear turquoise waters and its view of the Strait of Bonifacio in Corsica. East of the Capo Testa promontory lies the Santa Reparata Bay, which provides shelter from the winds coming from south and north/east. It is not recommended when the winds are from the west and south/west. The sandy beach features rocky coves surrounded by the Mediterranean flora. Given the variety of colours of the crystal-clear sea - ranging from blue to green – it is a favorite destination for scuba divers. The beach offers facilities and catering service.
