Just a few kilometers from Santa Teresa there’s a moon-like landscape, completely wild, surrounded by huge boulders, smoothed by the action of the weather and water giving them unusual, sculpture-like shapes. Cala Grande, renamed “Valley of the Moon,” is nestled between two granite ridges, with wonderful natural pools with crystal clear waters. At the end of July, the Valley of the Moon,turns into a stage for the jazz international music festival “Musica sulle Bocche” witch, from 2001, bring together jazz lovers and helps to spread out respect and love for the environment.

Unique Bays
Costa Paradiso’s resort is located in one of the most fascinating stretches of Gallura region. Shores are set in dreamy bays that open along a rocky and jagged coastline. Most of them are only reachable by the sea with a raft.
within a short walking distance, there is Li Cossi, a long golden strip of sand, wind protected, which is the best choice for families and snorkeling lovers. On clear days are easily visible Asinara’s Island, and the Corsican shoreline. Not so far away, Li Baietti and Le Sorgenti: natural narrow coves, both accessible by uneven trails. Li Baietti is framed by huge boulders above the sea that create natural pools with crystal-clear water. Le Sorgenti is further north out of the three and has two sandy areas for sunbathing and a group of rocks to dive off.
