To the east of Cagliari, the coastline is one of the most alluring on the island and is sprinkled with residential resorts such as Solanas, Porto Sa Ruxi and Villasimius.
Solanas offers the longest stretch of sand in the area, making it a real favourite with families seeking a beach holiday, whereas Porto Sa Ruxi, nestling on a rocky promontory washed on both sides by the sea, is perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
