Beach holidays in Corsica
With more than 200 beaches, Corsica is made for beach holidays. Choose from hand-picked beachfront hotels, self-catering apartments and villas beside some of the island’s most beautiful bays, from Calvi and the Balagne to Porto Vecchio and the south. Search for your Corsica beach holiday or explore our beachside accommodation to find your perfect stay.
Corsica is made for beach days
With more than 600 miles of coastline, Corsica offers beaches for every kind of holiday, from golden sands and calm, shallow bays to secluded coves and dramatic rocky shores.
In the south, around Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio, you’ll find spectacular beaches such as Santa Giulia and Palombaggia, alongside quieter coves best explored by car. The north offers a different appeal, with beaches near Calvi and L’Île-Rousse that are often easier to reach from the main resorts.
Whether you’re looking for family-friendly swimming spots, romantic hideaways or wild beaches to explore, Corsica combines crystal-clear waters, Mediterranean sunshine and breathtaking scenery.
Book a holiday beside the beach in Corsica
We’ve hand-picked an exceptional collection of accommodation by the sea in Corsica, from stylish beachfront hotels and self-catering apartments to beautiful villas close to the island’s most inviting beaches.

Unforgettable beaches in Corsica
Few places can match Corsica for the sheer variety of its beaches with each region having its own character.
In the south, you’ll find sweeping crescents of soft white sand, turquoise waters and lively beaches, with water sports and facilities close at hand.
Along the east coast, long golden shores invite lazy family days, while the west reveals sheltered bays, rocky coves and quieter stretches.
Venture further north and the landscape becomes wilder, with hidden beaches tucked into the maquis, reached on foot or by boat.
Why we love the Corsican beaches
- Beaches in every shape and size: from long, family-friendly sweeps of golden sand to tiny coves and secluded bays, Corsica offers extraordinary variety.
- Water that looks almost too good to be true: clear, turquoise and refreshing, Corsica’s Mediterranean waters are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and all manner of water sports.
- A beach for every kind of holidaymaker: families can seek out calm, shallow waters and easy-access beaches, while couples can escape to secluded coves.
- Spectacular scenery comes as standard: expect pine forests reaching the shoreline, granite rocks sculpted by the sea and dramatic cliffs plunging into the water.
- You can combine beaches with so much more: pair your beach day with exploring a medieval citadel, wandering through a mountain village, hiking in the hills or enjoying a long Corsican lunch.
- Plenty of shade: many beaches are fringed by pine trees, providing welcome natural shade when you need a break from the sun.
- Choose between lively and wild: some beaches have all the facilities close at hand, while others require a boat trip, 4x4 journey or hike to reach them. That means you can be as sociable or secluded as you like.
Our expert’s opinion
I recommend staying in the Balagne in areas such as Calvi, Algajola and L’Île Rousse. With plenty of beaches at your fingertips, you don’t even need a car to reach them! Accommodation here allows you to stroll to the beach. But for different scenery, the hop-on, hop-off service on the train that runs along the coastline opens up a whole choice of beaches within a short journey!
