Poetto Beach
Spiaggia del Poetto
A city beach about 8 km long, running from the Devil’s Saddle to Quartu. The water is shallow and clear, and it is the seaside living room of the locals.
Poetto lies just southeast of the city center. Its western end meets the Devil’s Saddle headland, and behind it lies the Molentargius salt marsh. The beach is wide, the water is shallow and the waves are small. Along the way are many seaside bathing areas with paid sun loungers and free stretches. The seafront boulevard has a bike lane and bars, and it is lively on summer nights. Take the PF or PQ bus from the city center, about 20 minutes. Parking is hard to find on busy weekend days in peak season, so take the bus.
