Capo San Marco, Mediterranean promontory in Cabras, Sardinia.
The limestone promontory extends southward into the Sea of Sardinia, featuring steep cliffs and natural coves along its eastern shore point.
The strategic location of Capo San Marco served as a natural protection for the ancient Phoenician city of Tharros until its abandonment in 1050.
The 1924 lighthouse stands 15 meters high with an ochre quadrangular tower, marking the southern end of the Sinis Peninsula marine reserve.
Visitors can reach the promontory through a walking path from San Giovanni di Sinis village, where parking facilities are available.
The waters surrounding the promontory contain extensive Posidonia seagrass beds, providing habitat for numerous Mediterranean fish species.
