Capo Pecora is a promontory located in the municipality of Arbus. It is the southernmost point of the Costa Verde and the municipal territory. It forms the right end of the Leone di Buggerru and was once the southeastern border of the province of Medio Campidano with the province of Sulcis Iglesiente.
Capo Pecora is dominated by Punta Mumullonis, which rises to 499 meters above sea level. It is a complex of vulcanites, calcaries, dolomies, and arenies, which are among the oldest in Europe and rich in metals. The granitic promontory of Capo Pecora sticks out in a coast dominated by calcareous rock. The cliffs at Capo Pecora, battered by wind, form isolated coves of polished pebbles.
In these coves, the rocks have taken on particular shapes, leading one to be named Spiaggia delle uova di dinosauro. The main beach of Capo Pecora is composed of golden sand with large grains.
