Punta Falcone, Coastal promontory in Santa Teresa Gallura, Italy

The promontory rises 101 meters above sea level, offering views across the Strait of Bonifacio and the northern Sardinian coastline.

The strategic position of Punta Falcone made it an essential observation point for monitoring maritime traffic between Sardinia and Corsica since ancient times.

The promontory serves as a natural backdrop for the annual Musica sulle Bocche jazz festival, which brings musicians to perform at the end of August.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit of Punta Falcone, where visitors can observe the Mediterranean vegetation and geological formations.

The granite formations at Punta Falcone have been shaped by strong winds over millennia, creating natural sculptures against the Mediterranean backdrop.
