The most beautiful beaches of Haute-Corse

During your visit to northern Corsica, enjoy the wild pebble beaches of Cap Corse, or the fine sandy beaches of Balagne and the Agriates desert.
Bordered by crystal-clear turquoise waters, with temperatures of 26-27°C in summer, there is something for everyone.

Families will choose the town beaches of Calvi, Île Rousse, or Saint Florent, with their often shallow waters, several of which are supervised. Adults and children will delight in taking the Little Train of the Beaches with its yellow and red carriages, which runs from Calvi to Île Rousse along the coast. Like a shuttle, the Trinichellu stops at every beach and offers spectacular views of the coastline, in a fun and relaxing way. Hurried passengers need not apply!

On the Eastern Coast with its warm, gentle waters, families and water sports enthusiasts will flock to Moriani Plage, the festive town of Costa Verde with its 17 km of beach! Nature lovers cannot miss the slightly wilder beaches of Cap Corse, bordering a protected Natura 2000 marine area where dolphins frolic.

The more athletic, water sports enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, pedalo, or jet skiing, particularly on the beaches of Calvi, Saint-Florent, or Île Rousse; scuba diving enthusiasts will not want to miss the seabed around Galeria, with stunningly colourful depths north of Scandola.

The most romantic will venture away from the crowd to the paradisiacal setting of the Agriates, notably including the beaches of Saleccia or Ostriconi. Many are only accessible by boat or on foot, through the magnificent Customs Officers’ Path that runs along the coastline from Saint-Florent, a magical blend of the blue sea, golden sand, and typical Mediterranean vegetation made up of pines, olive trees, and holm oaks.

Sometimes it’s the opportunity to isolate yourself in a white sand cove, alone, with transparent, crystal-clear water at your disposal.
