Beach overall scores
Fiume Santo (Haute-Corse) is located outside the Saint-Florent 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
"I'm planning on checking out another stunningly clear beach at Cap Corse during my next island boat trip."
Lorenzo A. Vega
"The beach is easily accessible by foot and offers a rocky area where you can spot some vibrant fish. However, the nearby river emits an unpleasant odor of sulfur or rotten eggs. On the bright side, the sea boasts a stunning array of blue hues."
