The many faces of the sea
Corsica is unarguably a paradise for enthusiasts of sea and water sports, in all their forms.
With its more than 1 000 km of coastline that are home to crystal-clear waters, vast fine sandy beaches, small deserted creeks and granite cliffs inhabited by sea birds, Corsica offers a variety of marine landscapes that is unique in the Mediterranean. Even in the height of summer, it is not hard to find a quite little creek in which to dive, fish or simply swim. With water temperatures suitable for bathing between May (19°C) and October (20°C), and reaching 24°C in July and August, Corsica is the dream setting for practising all kinds of water sports: sea kayaking, funboarding, competitive and liveaboard sailing, water skiing, diving, surfing and jet skiing.
A few dream beaches
Saleccia: Accessible on foot from Saint Florent or by 4 x 4 along a 13 km track, a real “beach at the end of the world”.
Albo: On the west coast of Cap Corse, a dark pebble beach at the heart of the village with the same name, where stands a perfectly preserved 16th-century Genoese tower.
Pinia: On the east coast, this beach fringed with sea pines stretches as far as the eye can see.
Palombaggia: Close to Porto Vecchio, this beach frequented by families, which looks across at the Cerbicale Islands, is bordered by an ancient pine forest.
Cupabia: A haven of peace set in a little creek in the Gulf of Valinco.
Marinella: Immortalised by singer Tino Rossi, the calm waters of this beach in the Gulf of Ajaccio are ideal for bathing with all the family.
Arone: A beautiful sandy beach in the area of the Gulf of Porto, close to the village of Piana; a refreshing place to stop off after discovering the famous “Calanche”.
Algajola: Situated between the islands of Rousse and Calvi, this vast beach is also a spot appreciated by funboarders.
