Things to do in Corsica, France: The Best Outdoor Activities

August 18, 2021 Sheron Bogner

Corsica is a laid-back French island, with a breezy vibe that’s part European weekend and part tropical honeymoon. The port city of Bastia flings its arms wide open to weary travelers disembarking from a long ferry trip. For a truly charming Corsican experience, catch a train through the mountains to the beach, passing by rustic villages and grazing cows along the way. Take a few hours or even a few weeks to explore the island’s famous walking trails, including the varsity-level GR 20.

Plage de Palombaggia

Reviewed By thetravellingfrenchy - Prague, Czech Republic

As an incredibly famous spot in Corsica, Palombaggia’s reputation for being one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world is fully justified by its stunning beauty. The white sand contrasting with the gorgeous blue water makes you want to take a dip right away! Bordered with pine trees, this little slice of paradise is one of the busiest beaches in the South. So head there early or off-season!

Our favourite anchorage in Corsica. A beautiful. I’ve with clear water and mostly white sandy bottom. Sadly the coral is mostly dead although there are still small fish in the bay.

Plage du Petit Sperone

Reviewed By firenguete51 - Düsseldorf, Germany

My family and I recently traveled to Corsica for the first time and mainly visited the southeast part of the island. Out of all the beautiful beaches we saw, La Plage du petit Sperone was definitely our favorite! Alone the fact that you can only reach the beach by foot made the experience even more enjoyable. The water was so crystal clear, calm and warm, great for snorkeling! And also perfect for our 2 year old to play in it and be safe. If you are traveling through this part of Corsica a visit to this beach is a must!
