I absolutely love it here! This place, right across from Tonara, is perfect for unwinding, relaxing, and taking a break. However, make sure to be cautious because the beaches of La Testa are worth it! It's better to be patient and either drive in an SUV or 4x4 vehicle, or even walk (with a good amount of bravery). The road is extremely damaged, so small city cars might not be sufficient. Overall, this place is truly remarkable!

It's quite a challenge to reach this beach with a regular car, unless you're willing to park on the dirt road before encountering some large potholes that I personally chose to avoid. A taller car is necessary to avoid any risks. This spot is ideal for a handful of adventurous individuals, but the breathtaking spectacle provided by the two beaches of Testa makes it all worthwhile. The sand is pure white, the sea is exceptional, and there are very few people around. However, there are no amenities available, so you'll need to come prepared. I give it a perfect score of 10!

The beach is really lovely! However, the route to reach it is quite challenging if you're driving a regular car. In fact, you need to go a bit farther as the beach itself is quite tiny.

It is the most secluded and beautiful beach in la testa, but it is quite small, suitable for a maximum of 10 people. However, due to its convenient location as the first accessible beach along the bumpy path, and with a very spacious parking lot, everyone tends to stop and stay there before continuing further if other cars are already present.

The beach is truly wonderful, with its peaceful and secluded atmosphere. It is not very crowded, mainly because the way to get there is quite challenging, especially for small vehicles. However, we were able to reach it in about 20 minutes using a Touran. Despite the difficulties, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves almost alone on the beach.
