About Poetto

Poetto is a beach about 4.5 km long, South (Cagliari, Chia, Villasimius). It faces southeast: wind from the northwest blows off the land here and flattens the water, while wind and swell from the southeast roll straight in. OpenStreetMap shows 35 places to eat or drink within 400 m, 6 hotels or apartments within 600 m, toilets, showers, parking and a beach club nearby.
