Capo figari is a predominantly limestone promontory in the territory of Golfo Aranci. The peninsula that lies on the coast of Gallura begins with an isthmus that hosts the village of Golfo Aranci. The promontory divides the coast into 2 large gulfs<\/strong> forming to the north the Gulf of Congianus, which includes the Gulf of Marinella, and to the south the Gulf of<\/p>

Its summit reaches a height of about 350 metres above sea level and its coastline is characterised by rocks, sand and sea of enchanting colours<\/strong>: the beaches of Golfo Aranci (the first, second, third, fourth and fifth), the beach of Baracconi, Cala Moresca, Cala del Sonno until reaching north to Cala Sabina.<\/p>

The north-eastern part of Capo Figari, the part facing the open sea, is famous for its limestone cliffs with the Amphitheatre -<\/em> an incredible 200-metre high cliff overlooking the sea<\/strong> visitable exclusively by boat. Capo Figari and the island of Figarolo thanks to their unique richness in biodiversity are a SIC<\/a> Site of Community Importance<\/b> included in the Natura 2000 network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There is really a lot to see, remember to take some water bottles with you, and the advice is not to do this walking tour during the hottest hours of the day - especially in August<\/i><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How to reach Capo Figari<\/strong>
To find the road to the Promontory of Capo Figari, one must first reach Golfo Aranci. You must then proceed past the village and the marina area and continue on the road leading to Cala Moresca<\/strong>.

Via Cala Moresca is initially an asphalted road - as far as the small country church - then it turns into a dirt road that can be travelled by car or on foot. When you reach the Baracconi Beach<\/em> it is necessary to leave your car in the car parks (paid parking in the summer season and free in winter) and continue on foot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before parking, pay close attention to road signs and do not enter a no-parking zone. Fines are just around the corner.<\/i><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From Baracconi Beach<\/em> start visiting Capo Figari, <\/span>the best choice is to walk along the sea from the car park<\/strong> to pass through 'The Little Helichrysum Trail'. <\/span><\/p>

This is a delightful stretch of path, near an old lime kiln, bordered by a veritable expanse of fragrant helichrysum - in spring with truly massive flowering.<\/p>

Along the road and on the promontory there are several well-marked percourses of trekking<\/strong> with signage and special infographics<\/a> explanatory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From the Spiaggia dei Baracconi (Beach of Baracconi), continue on foot along the white road to the enchanting bay of cala Moresca with its two beaches and breathtakingly coloured sea. In front of the bay, for protection, you can see the nearby islet of Figarolo<\/strong>.<\/p>

In the area behind Cala Moresca there are buildings, ovens, a small site of industrial archaeology with a lime kiln<\/strong> abandoned after only a few years. A pine forest provides shade and shelter for the animals that inhabit the area.

From Cala Moresca begins the path that penetrates and climbs the promontory<\/strong>. Continuing along the road beyond the gate you can reach:<\/p>
