Capo Testa is a small peninsula (actually an island, then artificially connected to the mainland) that overlooks the Bocche di Bonifacio and is connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, along which there are two beaches. Since the beginning of the seventies Capo Testa has started its tourist development and is considered one of the most beautiful and appreciated sites of Gallura and of Sardinia. Capo Testa is a site of Community interest (S.I.C.) and there is a beacon of fundamental importance for navigation in the sea area of the Bocche di Bonifacio. From Capo Testa you can easily see the Lavezzi Islands and the southern part of Corsica.
