In June, the water can fluctuate between 19 and 26 degrees, but the really warm water is in July and August.

The beach at Palombaggia south of Porto-Vecchio is world famous as one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica, with other popular beaches on this stretch of coast including Santa Giulia , a little further south, Tamaricciu and other small beaches in between.

Heading north from the town, the most important beaches are Cala Rossa, then Saint-Cyprien and Pinarellu, a little further north. Saint-Cyprien and Palombaggio are popular for families with children.

All Porto-Vecchio beaches:

To the south of the island of beauty, the numerous beaches around Porto-Vecchio are undoubtedly some of the most beautiful in Corsica! Fine sand, turquoise waters, lazing or sea activities are always here.

The beaches of Porto-Vecchio are listed in order from north to south, not by beauty. The two best beaches are Santa Giulia and Palombaggia. But the other beaches of Porto-Vecchio are also very beautiful, but perhaps less crowded.

Pinarellu beach

The unique shell shape of the beach protects it well. This long white sand beach is suitable for everyone: families with its gentle slope allowing safe swimming, and leisure lovers who will not get bored. In addition, several restaurants and other services.

Bay of Saint-Cyprien

A few kilometers away, the southern part of the beach will delight active people with a variety of activities and services, and the northern part will delight lovers of wild nature and relaxation. South of the tip of Saint-Cyprien is Cala Rossa, one of the most prestigious tourist destinations in Corsica. The perfect place for a selfie with your favorite stars?

Benedettu Beach

Easily accessible and especially suitable for families, Benedettu Beach promises a great holiday in a very pleasant environment. The attendance, reasonable even in high season, is another reason to try this beach.

Cala Verde Beach

A nice beach, even in summer. Delightful white sand. The place is ideal for relaxation, away from the crowds.

Chiappa Beach

Like many other beaches in Corsica, Chiappa has its own charm. Clear water and various water sports… something that will appeal to everyone. However, it is important to note that this is a 100% nudist beach.

Need to strip naked? Nudism is mandatory both on the beach and in the campsite that borders it. Only teenagers can make a different choice.

Palombaggia Beach

Palombaggia is one of the most famous beaches in Corsica and even in the Mediterranean. Crystal clear, warm water, a long strip of fine sand, large umbrella pines that create shade, numerous water activities: what more could you want? You will not be alone in summer, the beach is very popular…

Tamaricciu Beach

Tamaricciu Beach is worth a visit, just like its famous neighbor Palombaggia. Between its dunes and the pine trees that border it, everything is perfect for rest and relaxation. A real postcard landscape!

Folaca Beach

Also very close to Palombaggia, Folaca Beach inevitably rhymes with laid-back life and sunny days. This rather quiet place is a good alternative to the super popular Palombaggia beach.

Acciaju Beach

Clear water, fine white sand, just the way we like it, gourmet relaxation… this beach has it all. Less known than some of its neighbors, it is worth a visit and a swim!

Santa Giulia Beach

Santa Giulia Beach is very well known and therefore very crowded, especially in high season. Its crystal clear waters and clean sand will appeal to lovers of idleness, while sports enthusiasts can enjoy the various marine activities offered on the site. A real paradise!

Porto Novo Beach

It is quite difficult to access, but it is worth it to enjoy a moment on Porto Novo Beach: you will need about 30 minutes of walking to get there. Thanks to the wild air, it has largely escaped the crowds of tourists. Swimming, lounging, even hiking… there is nothing to get bored of.

A little exercise? Feel free to walk along the beach, there are beautiful paths that promise very pleasant walks.
