Poetto Beach: sun, sea and sport

Cagliari's Poetto Beach , also known as the "beach of the hundred thousand" is the sandy coastline of the Gulf of Angels, which starts from Marina Piccola and the Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) and reaches the territory of Quartu Sant'Elena.

The important modernisation carried out a few years ago of the entire stretch of beach, including the casotti, bars and lidos, has given Poetto a new image. For many people it now recalls the much sought-after beaches of California, equipped with all comforts and facilities for any kind of leisure and sporting activity. So it is easy today to take a simple walk in the extensive pedestrian area, or a run on foot, by bike or on roller skates. There are also numerous beach volleyball, tennis and paddle courts, and it is easy to find small local companies that organize sailing, surfing, snorkeling and canoeing courses.

Poetto is easily accessible from the centre, either by car or by public transport. In a few minutes you can reach the beach, where you can enjoy happy moments of relaxation, a refreshing swim and a good meal of fresh fish in the local restaurants.
