Qui dit Île-de-Beauté necessarily says beaches and breathtaking landscapes. Are you looking for the most beautiful beaches of Corsica? Between the beaches of the north of Cap Corse, the multiple hips plunging into the sea on the west coast and the translucent waters of the east coast, Corsica is a bit like visiting a tropical country except that it has been a little warmer. Corsica has been the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea since 1768 and attracts more than 3 million visitors every year.

A true concentrate of mirific landscapes, Corsica offers both popular seaside towns and beautiful, uncommon or wild beaches, where bathing as in a tropical lagoon: limpid, hot, turquoise or emerald waters, giving desire from the road to plunge obviously. Here for you who are looking for beaches where to go to swim, a selection – unfortunately non-exhaustive – of the most beautiful beaches of Corsica, according to the Wanderlix writing.

1. Palombaggia

Referred to in all travel guides, beach Palombaggia is probably the most famous of the Island of Beauty: it is also one of the most frequented. The white sandy beach is full of parasol pines and red rocks, and wet by turquoise and emerald water in a half-circle year. Close to Porto-Vecchio , it is one of the most beautiful beaches of Corsica. In summer, go in the morning to find the least possible world.

2. Santa Giulia

Located 23 kilometres northeast of Bonifacio and 9 kilometers south of Porto-Vecchio, the beach Santa Giulia is according to us the second of the most beautiful beaches of Corsica. Classified by UNESCO among the most beautiful beaches in the world – squarely! -, the beach is a turquoise and clear water lagoon like mountain water, bordered by a stretch of fine sand. Back to the medal, it is also one of the most popular beaches in Corsica.

3. La Rondinara

This shell-shaped beach is rolled into a vast bay south of the east coast, a few kilometers from Bonifacio. La Rondinara was elected third most beautiful beach in Europe, sheltered from winds and currents. A true paradise for swimmers, the water is warm in the summer and its clarity allows beautiful days spent to make snorkeling and naps on the sand (which violence!).

4. The Little Sperone

By approaching Bonifacio, the Petit Sperone beach is another jewel of the island, deserving its paragraph in the ranking of the most beautiful beaches of Corsica. The beach has remained wild and preserved, protected from mass tourism. The view on the Lavezzi Islands It's impossible. The beach is small and can therefore be crowded during the summer period. Go in the morning and also enjoy the places to spend one or two days there: this is where there are real nuggets in terms of vacation rental in Corsica who in turn promise you a unique stay of his kind.

5. The beach of Argent

We pass on the west coast, with the beach of Mare and Sole, otherwise named the " Argent beach ". It is located in the Gulf of Ajaccio southwest of Corsica. It is a popular beach of the wealthy tourists and jet-setters. Many refined cuisine restaurants line the beach. We can contemplate the last rays of sunset, reverberating on the silver color of the sand and on the deep blue of the sea.

6. Saleccia

Saleccia , it is the beach of Desert des Agriates, in the north, in the department of Haute-Corse. This sublime stretch of white sand inaccessible from the road – you go on foot – in fact one of the most beautiful beaches of Corsica, preserved from mass tourism. A very rich underwater fauna lives peacefully there. The beach offers a strip of more than a kilometre of white and fine sand, glued to dunes and forests of typical Mediterranean vegetation (green oaks, olive trees, pines): it is not a coincidence that it is cited as one of the most beautiful beaches of Corsica!

7. Capo di Feno

Beach located north of Sanguinary Islands and the Gulf of Ajaccio, Capo di Feno is preferred if you surf: it is known for its waves. A coastline shredded with red rocks on the sea, waves reminding almost the Atlantic coast: you are well in Capo di Feno, an idyllic and wild beach so it is not accessible.

8. Bodri

Where to swim on the most beautiful beaches of Corsica? North, in L’Île-Rousse, la beach of Bodri is a must. White sand and crystal clear waters in the middle of the city, from which you reach a small tourist train from the beaches: a very large stretch of sand allows you to find a place even in the summer.

9. L’Ostriconi

Are you looking for a wild beach among the most beautiful beaches of Corsica? Ride north, after the beach of Lozari: in the Desert of the Agriates and on the commune of Palasca, the Ostriconi beach is essential if you love the more remote places. Very wild and uncommon, it is a succession of dunes where the mouth of the pond of Foce ends. The beach is accessible on foot from the Customs Trail.

10. Tizzano

In the vicinity of Sartène, the beach of Tizzano – also known as “ Cala du l’Avena” – is a mini-concentrated paradisiacal beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. It is a family beach with many shops on the seafront, including hotels where to stay close to the city of Sartène.

11. Sagone

If you arrive at the port of Ajaccio and plan to go to the Calanques of Piana, the beach of Sagone is a good first drop point to swim. We were there and we kept the memory of one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica: in the early morning, nobody on the sand and you can enjoy a first bath under a hot morning sun, but still bearable. The weakening, on the other hand, is increasing as the morning passes on the beach.

12. Campomoro

The best for the end: in the Gulf of Valinco, the beach of Campomoro is a must. It’s a sublime beach that doesn’t have to redraw from its rank among the most beautiful beaches of Corsica. We're located south of Propriano south of the west coast. The Bay of Campomoro is a small jewel of the island: small fishing port and authenticity make the charms of this place. And no, we are neither in Seychelles, nor in Thailand, but in Campomoro-Belvédère. Blue sky, turquoise water lagoon, green hills and mountains in the background: the quintessence of happiness!
