When the sun sets and the sea turns to liquid silver, then it happens: From the tranquil blue, the rock rises – not like a foreign body, but like a thought of the earth turned to stone. Pan di Zucchero, or Sugarloaf, they call it, and indeed: There it stands, as if licked by the sky and washed by the sea, round and proud, as if watching over the Sardinian coast. The last rays of day creep over its limestone walls, licking firmly at the edges, casting both shine and shadow. In this light, it glows – not garishly, not obtrusively, but like something that remembers: the millennia of the sea, the silence beneath the water, the spray of geologists, birds, wind, and the hand of man who searched for ore and dug veins nearby. A monument that demands nothing. It simply stands there – and is contemplated. From Masua, one approaches, on foot or by boat, with the rocks on the right and the open blue on the left. Those who take the path will be rewarded with views that are out of the ordinary. Those who choose the boat will be amazed: by the grottos that dig into the base like eyes, by the almost outrageous height – 133 meters rising vertically from nothing. And then, in the late afternoon, when the sun is low and the rocks are silent, something else happens: Sugarloaf Mountain begins to tell its story. About the time when it was still connected to the mainland. About its little brothers – Il Morto, S'Agusteri – that stand lost in the sea. And about all the seagulls that circle as if they had invented the place. No photo, no filter can replace this moment: the whisper of the wind, the salty air, the light that forgets the sky. You stand there and are silent. And the rock – it remains. As if it had always been there. And always would be.

The majestic limestone monument rises like a sentinel from the deep blue Mediterranean. This imposing rocky spire off the southwest coast of Sardinia is a geological masterpiece, formed by millions of years of erosion. The 133-meter-high rock is a remnant of the Cretaceous period.

The beach has a large car park suitable for campers. It can be reached via the provincial road 105, heading north until the end. The road is signposted. A pleasant peculiarity: over time, wind and water have formed certain shapes in the rocks, which is why one of the bays is called the Uova di Dinosauro (dinosaur eggs) beach.

The seabed is popular with divers and fishermen. The place is known for its abundance of fish: sea bream and sea bass, mullet and bream. Octopus can be found between the rocks. You can also fish from the rocks.

Capo Pecora is recognised by the SIC (Site of Community Importance) and is located on the extreme south side of Cape Verde. The beach is characterised by its light, coarse sand and its steep cliffs that slope into the sea. The beach is rarely visited, except perhaps in the summer months. It is a great place to relax in unspoilt nature. The clear water, the golden cliffs and the Mediterranean flora are unforgettable.

At Capo Pecora you can park your car and from here hike to Costa Verde, to Scibo Beach, in 2 hours. This is easy in sturdy sneakers. Wonderful views from the peak and great anticipation of the beach. We didn't meet anyone on the way there or back, we plunged naked into the sea and enjoyed it very much, there was no one there except us. There is a small beach bar further north with loungers and umbrellas, where all those who arrived by car hang out. But it wasn't really busy, everything was very relaxed. In any case, the hike is highly recommended, the swim in the sea is really well deserved.

The Sardinian word “nébida” means fog. Is that the namesake?
