Punta Giglio
A headland on the east side of Porto Conte bay, where a trail winds through Mediterranean scrub to a WWII gun battery ruin, facing the cliffs of Capo Caccia.
Punta Giglio faces Capo Caccia across Porto Conte bay and is a favorite hiking spot among locals. The trail starts at the car park and takes about an hour to reach the tip of the headland. Along the way you'll pass WWII-era coastal gun emplacements and barracks ruins, as well as caves and seabirds in the sea cliffs. The view of Capo Caccia from here is superb, especially at sunset. The path is mostly loose gravel, so wear trail shoes and bring water. It gets very hot in the midday summer sun.
