User reviews
"A local from Nonza gave us directions to the beach by car, as we were feeling a bit hesitant about the 640 steps. With the village behind us, we drove for about 2 kilometers and passed by the house-burials until we reached a gate that restricts the height of vehicles (motorhomes are not welcome). We then followed the winding road for another two kilometers and arrived at two..."

"The beach is really lovely, with a newly paved path leading down to it. It's worth noting that vehicles over 2 meters high are not permitted all the way down to the beach. It's important to keep the beach clean, but fortunately there are garbage cans available for use."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Baracataggio (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 Baracataggio (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 Baracataggio 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.
