Cala Spinosa
Santa Teresa Gallura
Cala Spinosa is an idyllic, hidden cove on Capo Testa near Santa Teresa Gallura, known for its golden sand and fascinating rock formations.
Location
On the picturesque north coast of Sardinia, just a stone's throw from Santa Teresa Gallura, lies Cala Spinosa – a true gem. This small, secluded cove on the Capo Testa peninsula is an insider tip for those seeking peace and nature. Its beauty is due to the interplay of fine, golden sand, framed by impressive rocks, and the crystal-clear, azure water that invites you to swim and snorkel.
Although the bay is not immediately visible, it is precisely this seclusion that makes it so appealing. It rewards every visitor with an unspoiled, wild atmosphere and spectacular views of the sea and the surrounding coastal landscape. The rock formations also offer interesting photo opportunities.
