Area naturale marina protetta Tavolara - Punta Coda Cavallo, Marine protected area in northeastern Sardinia, Italy.

The reserve encompasses 15,000 hectares of sea and 40 kilometers of coastline between Capo Ceraso and Cala Finocchi near San Teodoro.

The Italian government established this marine protected area in December 1997 to conserve marine ecosystems and promote environmental research initiatives.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional maritime practices while contributing to scientific monitoring programs through citizen participation in research activities.

Visitors can engage in snorkeling, diving, and hiking activities throughout designated zones, with permits required for specific recreational pursuits.

The reserve contains over 500 plant species, including 34 endemic varieties such as Alyssum tavolarae, which grows exclusively on Tavolara Island.
