This small and secluded beach is perfect for a peaceful moment, especially during sunrise when you can see the nearby tower. 🌅

This beach in Porticcio is the perfect blend of natural beauty and wildness. Located at the base of the Genoese tower of the "Capitello," the beach remains unspoiled with lush vegetation. It feels like we are transported to a bygone era of Corsica. Surprisingly, it is situated between the bustling family and commercial beach of Porticcio and the airport. It's hard to believe that this little piece of paradise exists! However, it's important to note that this beach is primarily for naturists.

This beach is really nice and it's conveniently located near Ajaccio. You can even watch planes take off from here. It's a great spot for kids to go swimming since the water is easy to get into. Just be aware that there are quite a few stones, so it's a good idea to bring some swimming shoes.

The beach is quite spacious and has some picturesque areas that are worth exploring. However, it's important to note that the water is deep and the sand is thick, so it's easy to sink in. One unique aspect of this beach is its proximity to the airport, which allows for a fun opportunity to watch planes take off. While it may not be the ideal spot for those seeking complete tranquility, it's still a lively and enjoyable location.
