Capo Caccia

Capo Caccia is one of the most spectacular headlands in north-west Sardinia. High limestone cliffs rise above the sea west of Alghero and form part of the Porto Conte natural system, rich in caves, hiking trails and protected marine habitats.

The headland rises steeply from the sea with vertical limestone walls and wide viewpoints facing the open horizon. The road to the tip crosses Porto Conte Park and reveals some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in north-west Sardinia.

At the base of the cliffs lie Neptune’s Caves, one of Sardinia’s best-known sea caves. They can be reached by boat or, when access conditions allow, via the long Escala del Cabirol staircase cut into the cliff.

Capo Caccia lies within the Capo Caccia–Isola Piana Marine Protected Area. Seabeds, submerged caves, cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation create an environment of high natural value, popular for diving, hiking and scenic exploration.

Capo Caccia combines well with Alghero, Porto Conte, the Anghelu Ruju necropolis and beaches along the Riviera del Corallo. It is an ideal stop for travellers who want to mix old-town sightseeing, archaeology and nature during the same stay.
