Oristano and the Sinis · Nature
Capo Mannu
A windswept headland, one of the most sought-after spots in Europe for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing.
About the place
With the mistral and heavy swells, waves of a few metres roll in; since the late 1980s the cape has drawn wind-sport enthusiasts. On top you can see an Aragonese tower and a lighthouse.
It suits those who love a lively sea better than families with small children on windy days.
What to do
- Watch the surfers from the coast
- Walk along the cliffs
- Swim in the nearby coves on calm days, such as S'Arena Scoada
Distances

Practical tips
- Check the weather and wind before you go: the sea can change quickly.
- On windy days the waves are for experienced sportspeople, not for small children.
