Spiaggia di Calamosca, Small beach cove in Cagliari, Italy
Spiaggia di Calamosca is a small sandy and pebbly beach on the southwestern coast near Cagliari. The cove stretches about 120 meters (400 feet) and sits between two rocky outcrops.
A watchtower built in the 17th century sits above the beach as a remnant of Spanish coastal defenses. This structure was constructed when the island faced regular attacks from the sea.
The beach draws local fishermen who practice their craft with nets and small boats in these waters. Their everyday work shapes the character of this place in a way that feels genuine and unhurried.
The cove is easy to reach by bus from downtown. A restaurant and bar on site offer food and drinks for visitors.
Walking paths lead directly from this beach to two notable landmarks: the Capo Sant'Elia lighthouse and the Sella del Diavolo rock formation. Many visitors miss these convenient connections.
