I've never been to a beach like this. Be careful not to miss it. It's right off the side of the road it'll sneak up on you. There are some sandy spots to lay on, but mostly pebbles. There is a place that rents out lounge chairs near by. If you're going to stay for awhile I suggest renting one out for a couple euro. Wear sandals as it can be a bit rough on the feet. I recommend you wear them down to the shore line if you decide to get in the water. Get there early for parking.

Fantastic place, you can park your car near the beach having a chance with all the comforts.
l 'water is a show, crystal clear, fresh and super clear. sand does not stick to the skin and the space between the people who attend this location is always respectable measure. The sun sets in front of your eyes, and you just have to come back the following day. Truly Beautiful!!

Decided to go for a boat trip with my girlfriend. Couldn't choose better than sailover. CARLO was absolutely fantastic. We opted out for evening sailing on racing sail boat. After crash-sailing-course Carlo let me "drive" the boat for most of the trip. Very, very exciting.. stopped after a while for bit of a diving and watching beautiful Sardinian sunset, then sailing again. If you require less action and more chill, you can choose bigger boat where he takes from one beautiful place to another. Very reasonable pricing, attentive staff amd just 10min from Cagliari. Higly recommended!
4. Cagliari and Devil's Saddle Tour
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
Cagliari is the administrative capital of Sardinia, the seat of the council and regional government and also the main port and commercial and industrial centre of the island. It is a modern town that has nevertheless been able to preserve its historical roots.Arriving into the main street via Roma, we’ll have a first look to Cagliari; We continue along the beach of Poetto, a sandy beach stretching more than ten kilometres (six miles). On its south western limit is the characteristic rocky formation known as “Sella del Diavolo” (Devil’s Saddle). The salt pools in the area are an extraordinary scarlet colour during the period of maximum water evaporation and in the winter they attract a large number of birds – particularly pink flamingos.

un giro interessante da fare con l'autobus per vedere vista strapiombi e sentire la storia fantasiosa della lotta tra l'angelo ed il diavolo sul monte Urpinu che lo ha portato a perdere la sella che è rimasta in loco per sempre.

It is a very pretty building both inside and out and is worth a quick visit. Not much else to do there though. There is a small garden attached, round the back so you can stroll through and then head back off to the sea front

Dating back to 16th century, this church is mostly recognisable for its baroque decor from 18th century. Chapels, ceilings, dome and pulpit are all lavishly ornamented. Outside the church, there's an old four-columned, stone pulpit - the Spanish emperor Carlos V is said to have delivered a speech from it before setting off on a battle against corsairs. Facade is also very pleasant, attracting your eyes even from Piazza Yenne. Free admission but check the hours of the masses. Definitely worth a short visit.

Our group made a brief stop here while on a Viking Cruise shore excursion. One of the most famous hills of Cagliari, it offers panoramic views of the city, the ocean and the salt flats. Definitely worth the "Kodak Moment" stop.

Pisząc recenzję zastanawiam się, co wywarło na mnie większe wrażenie: jakość posiłku czy cudowny kolor morza kilkanaście metrów od przeszklonej ściany. I wybieram jednak widok. Restauracja stworzona jest do jego podziwiania. Przeszklona z dwóch stron, z dekoracjami w bieli i zieleni, z szerokim tarasem i leżakami. Byliśmy w niej w styczniu więc nie delektowaliśmy się morską bryzą na zewnątrz, ale przytulne wnętrze z widokiem na morze i dwa wygrzewając się na tarasie koty komponowało się znakomicie ze świetnymi potrawami. Zamówiliśmy Cartoccio i dorsza gotowanego w winie z oliwkami, do tego butelkę pysznego białego wina oczywiście z Sardyni Terre Fenicie. Przy wyborze ryby odbył się cały rytuał. Kelner podjechał stolikiem z trzema rybami, z których mogliśmy wybrać. Potrawy przygotowane bardzo szybko, dorsz aksamitnie rozpływał się w ustach, oliwki dodały wyrazistości. W oczekiwaniu na realizację towarzyszył nam obowiązkowy koszyk pieczywa. Na deser sardyńskie tiramisu z pistacjami (różni się smakiem od kontynentalnego!) oraz regionalny seadas. Podejrzewam, że w sezonie trudno oczekiwać takiego poziomu obsługi, tempa przygotowania posiłków czy przytulnej atmosfery, ale dla nas była to wspaniała wizyta.
