This beach is an incredible hidden treasure near Poetto beach in Cagliari. If you swim to the right for just a few minutes, you'll discover some of the clearest water in the entire Cagliari Gulf.
While not the most stunning beach in Sardinia, this city beach is surprisingly pleasant. The water is crystal clear, the sand is fine and white, and the beach is clean. Additionally, there are free toilets and showers available, as well as plenty of cafes. Multiple free parking spots are available right next to the beach, which felt safe. While it may be crowded in the summer, there was plenty of space in September and the beach-goers were considerate and well-behaved. While not ideal for snorkeling due to the sandy bottom, there are some areas with rocks and seaweed where fish can be found. The water is completely transparent and relatively calm, providing excellent visibility.
Wonderful sandy beach with excellent snorkeling opportunities near the rocks. The bay offers stunning views. There's a charming little restaurant perfect for drinks and lunch. I really enjoyed stand-up paddling in the bay.
This charming little beach boasts crystal-clear turquoise waters, though be aware that it does contain quite a few rocks. Accessible via bus 6 from Cagliari, it's a short 15-minute walk from the bus stop. For those with their own vehicle, there is a public parking area available at Spiaggia di Sant'Elia.
This beach is truly exceptional, with an expansive stretch of sand that is both inviting and comfortable. The beach is long and open, providing ample space for visitors to spread out and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings. While parking can be a bit of a challenge on the street, the beach is well worth the effort. And, to top it all off, there is a charming café nearby where you can grab a bite to eat or a refreshing drink. All in all, this is a beach that is not to be missed!
The water is amazing and perfect for swimming. It's not windy at all, and you can easily reach it by taking a public bus from Cagliari. You can either get off at one of the first stops in Poetto and walk for about 17 minutes along the road, or catch another bus directly to Calamosca Beach. However, it does get quite crowded during the summer months, and keep in mind that it's a very small beach.
