Description
Capo Falcone is the north-western edge of Sardinia. From the Torre del Falcone (Big Hawk Tower) of the 16th century, which is at the top of the high promontory, you can admire an incredible panorama with strong contrasts. The west side of Capo Falcone presents steep and rugged vertical walls of schist, where various types of bird species nest, like the peregrine falcon. This side is washed by the “outside sea” and it is characterized by incredible coves and ravines washed by a deep azure sea. The east side instead presents softer cliffs and very white beaches washed by the “inside sea”. From there you can admire the beauty of the Rada dei Fornelli, of the Isola Piana and of the Asinara.
Car park.
