We planned a long weekend getaway to Cagliari to enjoy some nice warm weather, good food and the beach. The first two, we definitely had. And while we did visit Poetto beach, we were sorely disappointed in the quality of the beach. We took the bus PQ from the city center/marina to the beach. When we arrived, we were surprised... More

So easy to travel to from the city center! Great beach. And delicious paninis in the restaurant next to the marina.

We went to this beach in mid April and were surprised by how nice it is. It's about a 10-15 minute 2 euro bus journey from the city centre and has nice white sand and sheltered, calm sea. In April it is still quite windy but warm enough to spend the day there quite easily, and when the wind drops... More

I must admit I hardly go to Poetto during the summer. I prefer less crowded, hidden places, and to Sardinians who are used to very high standards in terms of sea this may not be the best place.

The beach was very quiet as it was the beginning of april,and we found a lovely bar on the beach " Iguana Chiosco Bar " which was opposite a Hospital,and had an area to sunbathe on deck chairs while you ate or drank,and you could stay as long as you liked.

It was a first and last trip there. Really, there is nothing to do there. if you say its a nice beach go to Barselona or Lithuania beach.

A beautiful long beach just a 10 minute bus ride away from Cagliari. There was almost no one there is December so we had it for ourselves. Beautiful blue water. You can walk all the way along the beach of just sit in a cafe drinking coffee and enjoying the queitness of the nature. Seems that the beach get pretty... More
