An easy ride on buses PF or PQ from Piazza Matteotti, Cagliari's fabulous Poetto beach extends for 6km beyond the green Promontorio di Sant'Elia, nicknamed the Sella del Diavola (Devil's Saddle). In summer much of the city's youth decamps here to sunbathe and party in the restaurants, bars and discos that line the sand. Water sports are big and you can hire canoes at the beach clubs.
