Among the Island’s scenic roads, provincial road SP 71 deserves a special mention: it is known as the ‘South Coast’ and its 25 kilometres offer film-like scenery, alternating picture-postcard beaches with rough granite and clay cliffs, with a hinterland of Mediterranean scrub. The beach of Campionna appears in this scenery, in a stretch of coast defined as rias, due to the rapid evolution of the land from sandy to rocky. The beach is set between two low cliffs: you will be dazzled by the whiteness of the fine sand, while the crystal-clear water reflects shades of green and turquoise. The seabed alternates sand, gravel and rocks and attracts diving, snorkelling and underwater fishing enthusiasts. The beach is never crowded, thanks to its secluded location and wild and unspoilt stretches, making it an ideal destination for both relaxing and enjoying sea sports. The view is also embellished by the islet of Campionna in front of the coast, which gives the beach its name. It can be reached by sea and, from afar, it looks like an unusual green pyramid emerging from the water.

On the coast of Teulada, sea lovers are spoiled for choice. Tuerredda often appears in the rankings of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean published by specialised websites and magazines, with its five hundred metres of golden sand along an inlet between Capo Malfatano and Capo Spartivento, where there is also a scenic islet completing the panorama. Other landscapes are dominated by ancient Spanish watchtowers: this is the case of Piscinnì, a coastal enclave of Domus de Maria on the Teulada coast and a popular destination for surfers and kitesurfers, ‘protected’ from behind by the Piscinnì pond. A tower also stands out on the promontory of Capo Malfatano, surrounded by little coves, with the beach of the same name at its base, where coloured pebbles appear through the transparent waters on the seabed. Continuing further west, you will once more find white sand, transparent, turquoise waters and a small island covered in greenery at Porto Tramatzu, with the distinctive feature of its waters being shallow for dozens of metres, making it perfect for families with children. Beyond Capo Teulada the enchantment takes the form of the white sand dunes of is Arenas Biancas, the southern part of the beach of Porto Pino that falls within the territory of Teulada.

The coast is beautiful and welcoming and has always been frequented: you can admire a Phoenician tophet on the islet of Tuerredda and the mysterious submerged port of Melqart in Capo Malfatano. Towards the inland area you can go on nature hikes through the forest of Gutturu Mannu in search of prehistoric evidence: there are about twenty nuraghi in the surroundings of Teulada.
