it Affascinante caletta tipica della sardegna con un mare azzurro limpido posta in un circo di rocce multiformi dove ci si può divertire a fare hiking tra le spiaggette circostanti

it Assolutamente consiglio la visita di Capo Testa in E-Bike noleggiabile a santa Teresa poichè, oltre ad essere una figata assurda, si evita tanto traffico in macchina e difficoltà nel trovare parcheggio! Spiaggetta di Cala Francese molto intima e carina se visitata a metà settembre!

it Bellissima caletta, tranquilla, appartata, con l'acqua cristallina. Tutt'attorno rocce di granito, dalle forme più svariate, che ti appaiono per quello che pensi di vedere. È uno spettacolo della natura!

it Acqua pulitissima ma non paragonabile al vero mare della Sardegna. Posto molto deludente considerando il percorso da fare per arrivarci. Ci sono molte altre spiagge che meritano davvero e sono molto più facili da raggiungere
