Welcome to Porto-Vecchio! The far south of Corsica, an exceptional nature reserve, is home to what are undoubtedly the island’s most famous beaches…
1. Palombaggia Beach
It is undoubtedly the most famous beach in Corsica—every guidebook mentions it! Often cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, it was voted France's most beautiful beach in 2019. Palombaggia Beach is a long, beautiful stretch of white sand about 2 km long, lined with maritime pines and red rocks. If you spot small islets in the distance on a clear day, those are the magnificent islands of the Cerbicales Islands. You’ll be captivated by the beauty of the landscape and the turquoise water. At the southern end of the bay, you’ll find three renowned beach restaurants: “Tamaricciu,” “Playa Baggia,” and “Palm Beach.”
2. Tamarricciu Beach
Just beyond Palombaggia, discover Tamaricciu Beach— smaller but no less beautiful.
Until recently, there was a century-old pine tree on this beach, surrounded by red rocks just above the water’s surface. Unfortunately, it had to be cut down in 2019. It was the symbol of the beach, featured on every postcard. All that remains now is a trunk erected as a totem to honor its memory. But the site remains one of the most beautiful in the region.
3. Acciaro Beach
South of Palombaggia Bay, Acciaro Beach is just as charming, but more secluded. You’ll appreciate its tranquility in a magnificent, more “natural” setting.
Snorkeling enthusiasts enjoy exploring the area to observe the underwater flora and fauna; it’sone of the most beautiful snorkeling spots in Porto-Vecchio Bay.
