Cascata a mare di Capu Nieddu

The Capu Nieddu waterfall descends 40 meters from limestone cliffs, creating a direct cascade of fresh water into the Mediterranean Sea near the western coast of Sardinia.

The waterfall stands as a natural monument within the ancient region of Cuglieri, an area that preserves evidence of Roman settlements and traditional Sardinian agricultural practices.

Local residents of Cuglieri maintain connections to this natural landmark through traditional textile crafts and pottery making, incorporating water motifs in their designs.

Visitors can reach the waterfall viewpoint via a one-hour walk along an unpaved path from the SS 292 road, with the best viewing periods occurring between November and May.

The water flow varies significantly throughout the year, reaching its maximum intensity during winter months when rainfall increases the volume of the cascade.
