The Gulf of Angels has been a maritime crossroads since Phoenician and Roman times; Cagliari’s harbor grew around these bays and the Sella del Diavolo served as a natural lookout.
Conservation
The coastline is protected by local regulations limiting anchoring in sensitive seagrass beds; avoid dropping anchors on Posidonia meadows and dispose of waste ashore.
