Sella del Diavolo
A saddle-shaped headland at the western end of Poetto. A hike to the top offers views over Angel's Bay, the city and the long Poetto beach.
Legend says that Lucifer fell here during his battle with the angels, leaving behind a saddle-shaped mountain, which gave the site its name. The trail starts near the small Calamosca cove and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours round trip. Along the way are Punic and Roman ruins, World War II bunkers and an ancient watchtower. The sea cliffs at the summit are spectacular. Calamosca Bay below is good for swimming. Some sections are covered with loose gravel, so wear non-slip shoes and carry plenty of water. Take care on windy days.
