Beach overall scores
Cala Longa beach (South Corsica) is located outside the Tizzano settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Corsica island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The calanque is quite picturesque, with clear turquoise waters. Though there are a lot of boats around, it's still feasible to swim and go snorkeling. Unfortunately, the beach is covered in decomposing algae, making it impossible to access."
Samantha Stoneham
"It's a peaceful spot, about a 40-minute walk from the parking area, with hardly any crowds."
