The Sinis territory is enhanced by the presence of "Area marina protetta Penisola del Sinis, Isola di Mal di Ventre" (30.357 ha), which was declared a natural park in 1997. The park is managed by the Cabras town council, which has undertaken numerous touristic, scientific, educational, and conservationist initiatives in its connection. Many noteworthy sites may be found within this area, such as the island of "Mal di Ventre", "San Giovanni del Sinis", "Capo San Marco" and the Natural Park "Turr’e Seu".

The area around the volcanic massif of Montiferru, with its forested moutains and hills, is also very interesting. Of special note is Urtigu Mountain (one of the highest in Sardinia), and the coastal strip next to Montiferru with its amazing striking monuments, such as "Capo Nieddu" (near Cuglieri), "Sa Corona Niedda" (near Tresnuraghes) and the natural bridge "S’Archittu" (near Cuglieri). A short drive to the south along the coast brngs one to the dramatic archeological remains of the Phoenician seaport of Tharros, some of whose columns are still standing.
