Best things to do in San Teodoro and surroundings
A paradise for bird watching is the lagoon near to San Teodoro, a precious ecosystem for wetland and marine. The lagoon is home to the pink flamingos and other birds like cormorants, herons, coots, kingfishers and, kestrels.
A visit to the offshore island of Tavolara is certainly worthwhile. The island is 3 miles long and 0,6 miles wide and can be reached from Porto San Paolo with regular boat excursions. Mainly with steep cliffs there is the possibility to take a bath in the northeast (Spalmatore di Fuori) in in the southwest (Spalmatore di Terra). The small island is inhabited only by some families.
If you want to catch a bird’s eye view over San Teodoro and the beautiful coast stretch, we recommend to book an emotional flight in an micro light airplane (only one passenger) from the airfield Lu Scupaglio near the lagoon. Flights to La Maddalena archipelago in the northeast are also available on request.
The Foresta demaniale di Usinavà, a State forest with an area of approx. 1,100 hectares, is located about 15 miles inland, in the territory of the municipality of Torpè : various paths lead through an unique Mediterranean flora and fauna, and show that Sardinia has to offer much more than only sea and beaches. The natural reserve can be explored on foot, by horse or with mountain bikes.
