This long peninsula beyond the promontory of Monte Petruso, extending into the Tyrrhenian Sea, has an end portion which is called "Capo Coda Cavallo" ("Queue of horse cape"), because of its curious shape.
This is the extreme point of the marine protected area of Tavolara / Coda Cavallo.
In front of the tip is Proratora island where you can visit a cave.
