Latest reviews on Haute-Corse's beaches

Plage Pinia

10 Lucas Martinez

The car park can be reached via a dirt road, but even regular cars can travel on it. There aren't many signs, so it's best to ask the locals or use a navigation system. The beach and pine forest are both stunning and not crowded. The water is crystal clear and the sandy bottom is perfect for relaxing. You can also take a refreshing break in the cool pine forest. It's a unique experience to swim with the sound of crickets chirping in the background.

Barcaggio beach

10 Lila Kallister

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.

Ostriconi Beach Plage De L'Ostriconi

10 Aurora Delmonte

This beach is fantastic! The fact that parking is free and the beach is spacious with ample room is a major plus. Although there are no services available, the water is delightful. I highly recommend it! It's on par with the better-known Saleccia or Lotu beaches, but with far fewer people.

Stintino beach

2 Mara Delacourt

This place is definitely not a restaurant, it feels more like a scam. The food is of poor quality, the portions are small, and there are very limited options to choose from. The staff is unfriendly and lacks competence, plus they don't accept card payments and there's no ATM nearby. It would be wiser to explore other options as there are plenty of restaurants in this area.

Galeria

10 Ava Delacourt

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.

Baghera beach

2 Isabelle RENEX

The initial impression was not pleasant, as the maintenance man seemed unwelcoming and there was a lack of necessary information. It felt like they forgot their French hospitality before embracing their Corsican identity. Thankfully, this was the only negative encounter we had, as we are accustomed to naturist campsites. Needless to say, we won't be returning to this beach.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 9 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
