The cliffs' ruggedness, the solitary white, sand beaches and the characteristic vegetation represent an important visiting card for anybody in search of the "real" Sardinia.  It's a natural life in close contact with the sea, a life of numerous difficulties and isolation.
Carloforte's allure is definitely its authenticity.  It is proudly defended by its population and also by its sea; a strong and untameable sea.
The highest point of the island is Guardia dei Mori.  From this hilltop called "bricco" and where there still is an old abandoned lighthouse, the view reaches out in all directions, beyond the wonderful pine woods surrounding the hill.  San Pietro's vegetation is no longer as thick as it used to be; before the junipers were cut down in order to build the village.  Nowadays the landscape is sometimes monotonous, interrupted only by white, simple country cottages.
