- SteveBalzan, Malta22 contributionsRelaxing Beach Just Outside CagliariVery nice, clean and well kept coastal area. White sand and clear sea which stretches for miles. Also a very good (and flat) jogging and cycling route if you enjoy that. Not that many restaurants for such a large area and the ones I went in struggled with English...but nothing Google Translate couldn't fix.Visited May 2023Travelled soloWritten 6 May 2023
- Louis BMontreal, Canada157 contributionsNot greatWalk the beach and I must say its is not great. Sure it is long but the buildings along side are old and some are even abandoned. All the courts with large net around its, make is it an eye sore. The water is nice. I guess not bad for a city beach, They would need to clean up to improve the experienceVisited May 2023Written 4 June 2023
- NewYorkPearlBrooklyn, New York17 contributionsGood waterThe beach was great compared to my local beach. During my stay, it was also crowded. I loved being able to see the devil’s saddle. I decided to stay at one of the clubs for my umbrella and lounge. The beach was convenient to my hotel.Visited August 2023Travelled soloWritten 16 August 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely beach, crisp white sand and clear blue waters! There’s a lot of beach to walk up and down from if you like to take long walks whilst on the beach. Plenty of beach clubs if you want to hire a lido.

Lovely looking area. Wow this place is beautiful, a lovely coastline with fantastic far reaching views..but why I'd there an abandoned massive building and a carcass of a house just left to rot.. come on council folk, get these removed to make the place look even better..

One of the more beautiful beaches I have ever been one. It's very big, so finding space is almost always guaranteed. You can also very easily access it with public transport. Do bring your own umbrella though, as this seems to be practiced by everyone.

This is a very beautiful city beach, several kilometres long, with a wide range of small gastronomy businesses and often live music and animation during the long summer nights

We visited Poetto on two separate occasions. It's easy to get to from Cagliari city centre on buses PQ and PF.
The part nearest the marina end was the most attractive for me with its rugged towering cliff face.
However we also visited the end closest to the nature reserve with the flamingos.
At this end there are lots of little food stalls selling hot fast food and drinks on the road near to the large children's play park so you don't have to pay the more expensive prices of the beach front cafes and bars.

sono un pensionato Italiano , ora trascorro l'inverno in Portogallo, fra un anno vorrei trasferirmi in Sardegna, in una cittadina con meno di 20000 ab. per usufruire degli sconti tasse sulla pensione, vicino a Cagliari o Campidani. Vi sarei grato, visto che amo la Sardegna se mi date dei consigli!!

Beach is the most famous among all in Cagliari region, but is wide and long. In terms of chairs and umbrellas hard to say. I didn’t use. Good luck!
