Capo Testa stands on a granitic promontory and hosts a lighthouse of paramount importance for navigation in the area of the Strait of Bonifacio. This panoramic viewpoint – which enables visitors to spot Corsica – is connected to the mainland by way of an isthmus overlooking the Colba and Santa Reparata bays, with two charming beaches: Rena di Ponente and Rena di Levante.
Another beach is Cala Grande, also known as Valle della Luna (‘Moon Valley’), a name attributed to it by a group of hippies in the 1960s. Its suggestive and almost magical moonscape, with unusual wind-shaped rocks, evokes a wild and pristine atmosphere characterised by the scent of myrtle. Due to its complicated access, this beach is never too crowded.
