Family Holidays

Just a short hop from the UK, compact in size and an island where things happen at a much slower pace; Corsica is one of the world's low-stress holiday destinations. While it isn't known for its kids' clubs and wild nightlife (part of the reason we love it so much!) there is plenty for all ages and aptitudes to do during Corsica holidays. It's fantastic for family holidays of all kinds - young families, families with older children, a trip away with your mum and dad - and perfect for groups of friends and larger party sizes. We also offer some rewarding child discounts, presenting some great savings on your family holiday to Corsica.

Corsica's Top 10 Beaches for Families

With almost 200 beaches, Corsica is a beach lovers dream, but which ones would we recommend for a day with the family. Take a look at our top 10 and see the reasons for why...

Calvi beach

1. Calvi - La Balagne

Calvi's beach is a sweeping bay of powdered white, ideal for families due to its gently shelving gradient, as well as warm and protected waters. On top of this, it's inclusive of several restaurants and cafés, some of which serve directly onto the beach.

Palombaggia Beach

2. Palombaggia - L’Extrême Sud

Arguably the most famous beach on the island. An exquisite blend of fine white sand guarded by huge red granite rocks, fronted with gorgeous blue seas, and lined with beautiful pine trees.

Santa Giulia Beach

3. Santa Giulia - L’Extrême Sud

We think the most photogenic of all the beaches in L'Extrême Sud! It sits in a magnificent horseshoe bay with its shallow and translucent water making it the perfect swimming spot for the little ones.

La Roya beach

4. La Roya - St Florent

The main town beach in St Florent can be reached on foot from the port de plaisance or by car just west of the town centre. There are a multitude of water sports available including windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, jet skis and diving.

L'Ile Rousse Bay

5. L’Ile Rousse - La Balagne

A town beach which is generally patrolled, making it ideal for families. It's a fine yellow sand beach and the water is a gorgeous clear blue, plus there are good opportunities for water sports.

Pinarello Beach

6. Pinarello - L’Extrême Sud

Has a long sweep of soft white sand and is backed by a pine forest, ideal for any members of the party who need shade. This beach is also great for younger children as there is a nice wide stretch of warm shallow water too.

Campomoro Bay

7. Campomoro - West Coast

This beach has fine sand and turquoise shallow water making it an ideal choice for children and for snorkeling. There are also a couple of restaurants on the beach and a water sports centre.

Lumio Beach

8. Lumio - La Balagne

A small beach with stunning views of Calvi Citadel across the bay. Sheltered between rocky headlands, this beach is perfect to swim, paddle or snorkel plus it has a small restaurant.

Porto Pollo beach

9. Porto Pollo - West Coast

This is a busy little resort set on a horseshoe bay with a lively marina and a sheltered sandy beach. The bay is lapped by gentle shelving and very clear water.

Moriani Plage

10. Moriani Plage - North East

Boasting a 14km stretch of golden sand, this beach offers a couple of spots for watersports and several beach bars.

Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient at every stage, from my initial phone enquiry through to our departure from Calvi airport. The website was attractive and informative, and the booklets then had further useful practical advice. Hard to think of anything to improve!
