Cagliari's long city beach stretching from Sella del Diavolo towards Quartu: light sand, a shallow sandy seabed and dozens of kiosks and lidos along the promenade. The heart of Cagliari's summer life, though strong Maestrale still funnels across it. Suitable for families with children.

Why go

A go-to choice for anyone visiting southern Sardinia: a recognised natural setting, distinctive sea colours and the classic Sardinian beach-day experience, best enjoyed when the daily conditions cooperate.

Wind & sea exposure

Exposure to the prevailing winds varies day to day — always check the wind and sea state before going.

Family suitability

Whether the beach feels family-friendly varies by day — check wind, sea state and access before travelling with children.

Parking & access

Parking can vary by season — plan to arrive early in July and August and check for any local restrictions before leaving.

Best time to visit

The best days are usually those with calm seas and no sustained Maestrale. Early morning and late afternoon are the most comfortable windows in summer, while June and September often hit the sweet spot of temperature, crowds and conditions.
