Main Attractions

The visit to Sella del Diavolo begins along the trail that climbs towards the Capo Sant’Elia promontory, through the Mediterranean vegetation and rocks that characterize this stretch of the Cagliari coast. Along the way, increasingly wider views open up over the Golfo degli Angeli, the Poetto beach and the sea, while the distinctive shape of the rock accompanies the ascent to the panoramic points of the promontory.

Torre di Sant’Elia and traces of history

Along the trail, visitors can also see traces of the promontory’s long history, including remains and structures connected with the ancient coastal defence system. Torre di Sant’Elia, built in a commanding position overlooking the sea, helps tell the story of the strategic role of this stretch of coast, which was used over the centuries to monitor the gulf and the approaches to the city.

Views over the Golfo degli Angeli

The most evocative part of the visit comes at the highest points of the promontory, where views open up over the Golfo degli Angeli, the Poetto beach and the coastline stretching beyond Cagliari. From this vantage point, the clear water, the shades of the sea and the profile of the coast create one of the city’s most distinctive panoramas, particularly striking on clear days and at sunset.

Useful Information and Tips

Duration of the visit: to reach the viewpoints of Sella del Diavolo, it is advisable to allow at least a couple of hours, considering the round trip and a few stops along the way. Boat excursions, on the other hand, vary in duration depending on the activity chosen.

Opening hours, prices and bookings: access to Sella del Diavolo is free, while organized activities such as boat tours, snorkeling, kayaking and other experiences are subject to a fee. For prices, schedules and availability, see the Selected experiences.

Difficulty and clothing: the trail includes sections on natural and rocky terrain, with some uphill stretches. Suitable shoes for unpaved and rocky trails, water and extra care on the hottest days are therefore recommended.

Recommended times: the early hours of the day and late afternoon are ideal for avoiding the heat of the middle of the day. Sunset provides particularly evocative light over the Golfo degli Angeli and the Poetto. For boat excursions, however, it is necessary to check the available times.
