In Cagliari, the average state rent would barely cover the cost of a parking space in the city center. Kiosks, bars, and beach clubs along Poetto offer modest fees for access to the Spiaggia dei Centomila (Centomila Beach). These fees range from a minimum of €293 (in most cases, for 332 meters of beach) to €9,270 per month. All 32 operators are threatened by the expiration of their permits, set for September 30, 2027 (but the deadline could be extended further).
For their part, commenting on the "rock-bottom prices" of the concessions, the beach operators state: "The fee is low, but we offer services that the state should guarantee."
