Beach overall scores
Barcaggio beach (Haute-Corse) is located outside the Barcaggio 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
"There's a stunning beach in Corsica that's home to a herd of cows. It's a wonderful spot, and if you venture out a bit, you can take refuge under the shade of some small trees. Regrettably, we encountered a lot of jellyfish on our visit, but we made up for it with some ice cream."
Lila Kallister
"Located at the northern point of Corsica, this beach is a fantastic spot for both humans and their furry friends. With several small bays available for snorkeling, it's a perfect place to explore the underwater world and observe colorful fish."
