    From the sea, we will admire **Poetto Beach**, the long coastline stretching between Cagliari and Quartu Sant’Elena. The beach extends for about **eight kilometres**, from the **Sella del Diavolo** to **Margine Rosso**.

    We will make a short panoramic stop to take in its long sandy shoreline, the turquoise shades of the sea, and the unmistakable profile of the Sella del Diavolo.

    It is a privileged viewpoint for taking beautiful photographs and discovering one of the most iconic places in Cagliari.
