Latest reviews on Castello's beaches

Cala Genovese beach
10 Lena Rodriguez

The beach is truly magnificent, but it's important to note that the photos on Google don't accurately represent it. It's a beautiful sandy beach without any Posidonia and it's not very crowded. However, it does take about 40-50 minutes to get there from Macinaggiu.

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.

D'Albo beach
10 Ethan Kessler

This beach is definitely one of the best on Corse! It was a refreshing stop during our trip around Cap Corse and we especially appreciated not having any sand in our car.

Nonza Beach
10 Marco Santoro

This beach is really great and one of the most interesting ones in the North. Surprisingly, there weren't too many people when I visited in August, even though it was the busiest day of the year (the 14th). Instead of sand, the beach is covered in small green/dark stones. Just a heads up, you can only reach the beach by walking for 15 minutes and there's no parking nearby. It's not a difficult walk, but it's something to keep in mind. Also, there are no facilities available. Despite these things, the beach is fantastic and definitely worth a visit.

Baracataggio

This small cove, located near the larger beach below Nonza, boasts unique black stones that are characteristic of the area's beaches. Although there is a sign warning of strong currents, the sea was calm during my visit and I had no issues. However, I was concerned to learn that the beach may contain asbestos due to nearby quarries. Despite this, the water is clean and clear, and the seabed is teeming with fish. While I'm unsure if I'll return due to the asbestos scare, the beach's beauty is undeniable.
