Poetto is also the name of the district located on the western stretch of the strip between the beach and Molentargius - Saline Regional Park.
The name could also derive from the Spanish word puerto, since the first part, Marina Piccola, is also a port.
It was during the first decades of the 20th century that people began to appreciate the white dunes of Poetto, and the first seaside resorts ("Lido" and "D'Aquila"), bars and even a hospital (Ospedale Marino) were built.
The most popular is the 1st stop, adjacent to the port of Marina Piccola, just below the Sella del Diavolo.
Especially from June to September, one can listen to live music, go to discos, participate in dance lessons or karaoke or simply walk on the seashore.
