Capo Sandalo is a coastal viewpoint on San Pietro Island, near Carloforte in Sardinia. From the cliffs, you can look out over the sea and the lighthouse, then follow stable roads through a mix of volcanic rock, pine forest, beaches and sheltered coves. The headland is also a place to watch the sun set over the water; natural boulders give you a quiet place to stop. Late August to September is suggested for a visit, and nearby Tabarkina cuisine adds a local food stop to the day.
