The coast between Capo Ceraso (Olbia) at North and Punta Isuledda (San Teodoro) at south is characterized of wet watertights, lagoons, marshes and bogs that represents the ideal natural habitat for a great and important fish fauna and for big colonies of water or permanent birds.
The biggest sheet of water in San Teodoro is the lagoon, extended in North-South direction for almost 3km and 600 meters; it is lined at West by the main road 125 and at East by the beach "la cinta".

Water is low from 70 until 120 cm (max. depth 250 cm). The lagoon is rich of a lot of different fish fauna able
to tolerate more changes of salinity as eels, gold mullet, basses and different kind of grey mullets.
Birds population is big and is represented by: ducks, herons, red herons, little egrets, grey herons, cormorants,
herring gulls and black gulls, little terns, sandpiper, redshanks, kingfishers, rose flamingos, stilt plovers,
snipes, black swallow and so on.
It is not unusual to see rose flamingos looking for small crustaceans.
Along the lagoon sides there are tamarisks and a short, dense low vegetation composed of lentisks, myrtles,
rosemary, rushes and junipers.
On the West side there are a lot of granitic formations with particular shapes thanks to rain and wind erosion.
The path that divided this area from the seaside is made of a lot of dunes on which grows up myrtles, rosemary and
junipers. In this area there are fishing and ichthyic centres.
It is also expected the construction of some watch turrets for birds and sightseeing trips.
