Capo Coda Cavallo, Mediterranean beach in San Teodoro, Sardinia, Italy
Capo Coda Cavallo is a wide sandy beach on the northeastern coast of Sardinia with fine white sand and clear waters. The nearby islands of Isola Molara and Isola Tavolara are visible from the shore and define the coastal landscape.
The peninsula takes its name from its shape, which resembles a horse's tail. It later received protection and is now a designated marine reserve under Italian environmental regulations.
The shore here is shaped by native Mediterranean plants, with juniper and pine forests alongside laurel trees throughout the landscape. Visitors encounter this natural vegetation naturally when walking along the beach and exploring the surroundings.
The beach has on-site parking and offers rental services for loungers and parasols. A beachfront restaurant serves local dishes and refreshments throughout the day for visitors.
This shoreline is part of a large protected zone extending over several kilometers that holds numerous hidden coves and diving spots. The sheltered area preserves diverse marine and land environments for those exploring further.
