The island of Corsica is considered a real mountain on the sea. A thousand kilometres of suggestive beaches bathed by a clear sea, often cooled by sudden currents that make the joy of many surfers.
A miracle of nature, made of wild coves, stretches of sand and beautiful beaches of fine sand or mixed pebbles. In the southern part of the island called Corse du Sud you can find many beaches, ready to give you unique sensations and emotions.
What we will talk about in the article:
South of Corsica is characterized by numerous beaches, which every year attract thousands of tourists from all over the world. Among the main ones:
Palombaggia is one of the most beautiful and famous beaches of Corsica. You will find it on many postcards of the island! You will be amazed by this heavenly beach with turquoise waters, white sand and large rocks on the edge of the water, bordered by pine trees.
Most of the beach of Palombaggia is uncontaminated, free and without services but is still available a small beach perfectly equipped. There are also several trendy bars and restaurants on the beach, as it is considered one of the most fashionable beaches in Southern of Corsica.
From Porto Vecchio, it will take about 15 minutes by car to reach Palombaggia: Take the T10 road towards Bonifacio, then follow the signs for Palombaggia for about 10 km.
There is a paid parking near the beach of Palombaggia. You can also find free parking along the way, so walk to the beach. We recommend you arrive early if you want to find free parking, especially during the high season!
During your holiday in Corsica, do not miss the beach of Rondinara ranked among the best beaches in Corsica! The magnificent perfect shape of Rondinara Bay offers calm and transparent waters.
It is a beach of fine white sand, surrounded on the sides by two rocky headlands covered with Mediterranean maquis. The water stays low for many meters, so it is a recommended destination for families.
The beach is not particularly full of services, although you can still find a restaurant at the right end of the beach, and you can also rent deck chairs and umbrellas.
The Rondinara can be reached along a winding road, the N198, which is taken halfway between Bonifacio and Porto-Vecchio. Along the way you will encounter very few houses, all concentrated around the tiny hamlet of Suartone.
Santa Giulia is considered another beautiful beach located near Porto Vecchio. This magnificent bay at the foot of a mountain offers turquoise and shallow waters.
This beach is renowned as Rondinara and Palombaggia, and is therefore very popular during the summer. You will find several restaurants on the beach and you can rent deck chairs and umbrellas. You can also enjoy many water activities, such as water skiing, towed buoys or paddle.
From Porto Vecchio, drive for about 15 minutes to reach the beach of Santa Giulia take the N198 road towards Bonifacio and reach Precojo. From here, take the second street on the left, towards Santa Giulia.
The beach of Petit Sperone is another beach to be discovered during your holidays in the south of Corsica. Located near Bonifacio, this beautiful sandy bay with turquoise waters is ranked among the 10 most beautiful beaches in Corsica and is definitely worth a visit!
This beach is a 10-minute walk from Piantarella Beach. From Petit Sperone you can also walk for 10 minutes to discover the beach of Grande Sperone, much larger and rich in breathtaking views. There are no bars, restaurants, toilets or sun loungers on these 2 completely wild and unspoilt beaches.
