Calvi

Calvi's beach is a sweeping bay of white sand fringed by woods of planted maritime pines and it has something for everyone: it is patrolled by lifeguards in the summer and has a gently shelving gradient that is perfect for all ages, including toddlers. It boasts a fine array of restaurants and cafes nearby - some of which serve directly onto the beach whilst you bask on your sun-lounger; not to mention a diverse range of watersports activities for the more energetic.

Lumio

The beach at Lumio, Arinella Plage, is small and personal and has stunning views of Calvi Citadel across the bay. There is a small restaurant here Le Matahari, that is well worth checking out, serving seafood on tables that spill out onto the coarse sand. Sheltered between rocky headlands there are opportunities to swim, paddle or snorkle.

Algajola

The beach at Algajola is huge and wide and is close to the village and various cafes and restaurants. One of the longest beaches in the Balagne, the sandiest part is at the eastern end so requires quite a walk from the car parking area and the sea bed shelves quite steeply. The Western end of the beach is more commercialised and rather rocky in parts, but the water is shallower and calmer. The weather conditions mean that it's ideal for watersports.

Davia

There are two small, usually uncrowded beaches on the Davia peninsula, which is situated mid way between Ile Rousse and Algajola. They are accessed by driving down through the Marine de Davia which is just under 4km from Ile Rousse.

Bodri

Just west of Ile Rousse Bodri Plage is an unspoilt beach, a walk through the maquis and over the railway line. The walk is worth it, as the beach has almost white sand and a turquoise sea.

Ile Rousse

This is another town beach, and like Calvi's main beach it can be quite crowded in the summer months - but due to its size, if you're prepared to wander you can generally find a quiet spot. Another benefit of its size is that it is generally patrolled. It's a fine yellow sand beach and the water is a gorgeous clear blue. There are good opportunities here for watersports.

Lozari

A fabulous large beach which is hardly ever crowded. Access to the beach is between the turnings for Palasca and Belgodère and there is ample car parking. There are two beach café’s towards the western end of the beach. This beach is stepped and shelves quite steeply at the waterline and, in times of rougher seas, the undertow can be hazardous so may not be suitable for less accomplished swimmers and children.
