– Rena Bianca: is the town beach of Santa Teresa Gallura, a cove nestled between granite rocks about 700 meters long, with shallow seabed and soft, very white sand. The turquoise color of the sea can be seen from the top of the hill overlooking it. To reach it, you walk down a 300-meter descent and a staircase that reveals, step by step, the charm of this cove.
– Baia Santa Reparata: overlooked by the church of Santa Reparata, from which the beach takes its name, it is characterized by a small crescent of fine, golden sand surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and rocky outcrops that make it attractive even for snorkeling enthusiasts.
– Rena di Ponente and Rena di Levante: the two beaches are located on the isthmus leading to the promontory of Capo Testa. These are 2 long and narrow sandy beaches with clear waters, repeatedly awarded the Blue Flag. Their ‘mirror’ position allows you to enjoy the calm sea in any condition, relaxing on one or the other beach depending on the wind direction.
– Cala Spinosa: to reach this cove with emerald green water, you walk along a steep path that opens at the edge of the road leading to Capo Testa. Among Mediterranean vegetation and granite rocks, a small corner opens up where you can relax sheltered from the winds.
– Cala Grande (also known as Valle della Luna): this wild cove immersed in vegetation is located at the end of the narrow and winding 700-meter path that crosses Valle della Luna. Accessible only on foot, unlike other beaches, Cala Grande has a deep seabed, ideal for diving.
– Rena Majori: located in the territory of Aglientu, but only 8 km from Santa Teresa Gallura, this beach with shades of blue and celestial tones creates small pools among the rocks, ideal for children. Its seabed slopes gently and is also suitable for less experienced swimmers.
– La Marmorata: on the road leading to Palau, 7 km from the town, you will find this long stretch of white, fine sand. Here it is also possible to moor small boats and rent sunbeds and umbrellas.

The territory of Santa Teresa Gallura is rich in naturalistic attractions but also in history. There are several trekking routes that can be discovered between Capo Testa, Baja Santa Reparata, and the town.
Particular attention must be paid to the Valle della Luna: this enchanted place is located on the promontory of Capo Testa; along a winding path, you can admire a landscape with a “lunar” appearance, solitary and wild, dominated by huge rocks sculpted by the wind into original and unusual shapes.
At the top of the promontory of Capo Testa, you can continue your visit and reach the lighthouse, still in operation, which overlooks the cliffs of Bonifacio. From this point, you can admire beautiful sunsets.
On the road from Santa Teresa Gallura to Capo Testa and Baia Santa Reparata, you can also take the opportunity to visit the archaeological site of Lu Brandali, where excavations have brought to light a nuraghe with its village and a tomb of the giants dating back to about 3000 years ago. During summer evenings, the picturesque night market enlivens the alleys of the town center where bars and restaurants welcome numerous tourists, while various concerts and events animate the main square of the town.
At the Torre di Longosardo, which has overlooked the town since the 16th century, it is also possible to taste wines at sunset while admiring the cliffs of Bonifacio.

Dishes from the land come directly from the culture of rural stazzi and the agro-pastoral activity that took place within. Among the most delicious dishes are certainly Li Pulicioni (sweet ravioli with lemon zest dressed with tomato sauce), la Zuppa Gallurese (a flan of stale bread seasoned with meat broth, cow cheese, and tomato sauce baked in the oven), and li Chiusoni (small fresh pasta dumplings dressed with pork or wild boar sauce and sprinkled with plenty of aged cheese).
With fresh cream worked with semolina, you make mazza frissa, a dressing for first courses, which can be eaten warm with fresh fava beans. With the addition of honey or sugar, it becomes a typical dessert.
In the numerous restaurants in Santa Teresa Gallura, you can taste seafood dishes ranging from fish soups to capons or baked dentex, swordfish and local tuna, also in fresh tartare, lobsters, mussels, and clams. You can accompany these typical dishes with a good Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, the white wine prince of Gallurese tables and beyond.
