About this Beach

Poetto is Cagliari's beloved city beach, stretching for nearly 8 kilometers along the southeastern edge of the Sardinian capital. Backed by the dramatic salt lagoon of Molentargius, famous for its resident flamingo colony, Poetto offers a unique blend of urban convenience and natural beauty. The beach features fine white sand and clear, shallow water that deepens gradually. The promenade behind the beach is lined with bars, restaurants, and beach clubs, creating a vibrant social scene that extends well into the evening hours. Poetto is the heartbeat of Cagliari's outdoor lifestyle. Locals come here year-round for jogging, cycling, and socializing. During summer, the beach transforms into a lively destination with music, events, and the best people-watching on the island. The views of the Sella del Diavolo promontory are unforgettable.

I had a wonderful swim here in the clear water. The beach is 8 km long and is divided into free sections (my choice) and parts where you pay to enter and for sun-loungers, beach umbrellas, etc. I took the bus from the centre, buses PF & PQ get you there in 20 minutes for €1.30 (or €3.30 day ticket).

Poetto is a 8km long beach with easy access by public transport, very nice and clean, calm water, amazing for kids, with restaurants along the beach. I found a small stretch of beach with family atmosphere. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a beach day if you are in Cagliari.

Maybe not the best beach in Sardinia, but I still liked it. I would say it’s perfect for when you want to have a relaxing day, and you want to go to a beach that is not too far away.

The beach was stunningly beautiful, with clear water and amazing views. Though it was windy, it was still enjoyable. However, be cautious of jellyfish — I had the unfortunate experience of a small sting myself.
