User reviews
"The beach is stunning, with a vast expanse of pebbles and crystal-clear water. The parking facilities are very convenient. I've heard some people complain about cows being present and leaving behind dirt, but luckily, I only spotted a calf. I highly recommend stopping by this beach if you happen to be in the area."

"This lesser-known pebble beach is often overlooked in favor of more famous beaches, but it shouldn't be underestimated. The water here resembles a swimming pool."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Galeria (Corsica island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Galeria (Corsica island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Galeria for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
