Nonza - all beaches

We walked about a mile down a slightly intimidating, busy road from Brando to have lunch and a swim at this location. Unfortunately, it was closed! The place looked deserted and out of business. There is a sign up on the road and some small, faded menu signs on the signpost. However, walking down the hill reveals a place that seems to have been shut down for good. No furniture, no equipment, just a locked-up old building. Perhaps it is just closed for the season, as I noticed some recent reviews indicating it was open. It was 80 degrees and sunny, and the season is still ongoing, so... It was September 8, 2022, and we were there at 1 PM.

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.

This beach is absolutely fantastic - it's so peaceful and the ocean and surrounding scenery are just lovely.

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.

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.
