Could this be the most beautiful beach in Corsica? Ok, we don't know for sure, but Saleccia beach has been mentioned in such contexts and we have to say ... wow, what a beach! Saleccia beach is not far from St Florent in northern Corsica, but there are no roads, so you can't get there by car. You simply have to get there by boat.

To Saleccia beach by boat taxi
We went to Saleccia beach in Golf de Florent by water taxi from the harbour in St Florent and for this we paid €25/person return, now in low season. A budget option might otherwise be to take the local ferry to Loto beach (€10/person) and hike from there, which reportedly takes an hour each way.
Both Plage de Saleccia Beach and Plage de Loto Beach are among the top 10 beautiful beaches in Corsica. These beautiful beaches are sheltered in the bay south of the Cap Corse, which is the peninsula in northern Corsica. You can also hire a quad bike to get to the beaches, but be aware that in July and August it's easy for the temperature to approach 40 degrees.

The most beautiful beach in Corsica?
The first thing that strikes you when you arrive is that the turquoise the water. Sometimes you think they have manipulated the pictures in the tourist brochures, but this is the real thing! The water is crystal clear and the sand is chalky white.
Behind the beach, the high mountains rise to the sky. Not a hotel, or even a house, as far as the eye can see. On the beach, a bunch of tourists are sunbathing and outside, in the green-blue water, a few luxury yachts are bobbing lazily. It really is impossible not to relax here. A hidden gem, pure and simple!




Don't forget your packed lunch!
We highly recommend a visit to this paradise beach on the edge of the Désert des Agrgates, but don't forget the water or your packed lunch. There are no shops and no beach vendors here.
The best thing about this beach is that there are still natural beaches that are protected and do not allow sales. Everyone wants it to be clean, and there really isn't even a forgotten plastic bottle here. It is a luxury to have been here once.

How beautiful!!!
Egg sandwiches with Kalles are pure gourmet food?
Have fun in the sun?

Ha ha, Kalles with eggs... in Corsica, you are too good ?
Corsica in my heart, that's it!

Nilla, egg sandwiches with Kalles can be super tasty 🙂 ðŸ™'
Frankie & Co, haha, why not? 😉
Nils-Åke, we have brought Kalles from Sweden! Not expiry date yet 😉

BP says:
WOW! Agree with you - what a beach! Oh really nice to avoid hotels and houses there. That island they obviously want to preserve "natural" if you say so. Then I got a good laugh at the most Swedish thing there is - egg sandwich with Kalles. Love it too:-)
PS. I understand that you are not going to Malta. But between Malta and Gozo there is a "bay" with similar turquoise water. The beaches on Gozo are also chalk white. DS.

admin says:
Anna, so far we have to say that Corsica is beautiful! And we have only seen a fraction...
Åsa, you have to be able to travel sometimes, even if you have found your paradise!? 😉
BP, it's not actually an island (although we've thought so many times ourselves). It's just a beach along the coast, where there is no road... fascinating! And the egg sandwich with caviar is always good 🙂 As for Malta, we can agree - we've been to Comino and Gozo, amazing colour of the water there!!!!

Ditte says:
How delicious! What water! A wonderful trip!
And the icing on the cake is egg sandwiches with Kalle's caviar. Absolutely! We went on a boat trip from Calvi out to an island that had similar turquoise water and chalk-white beaches. I still remember it even though it was 13 years ago.
Corsica has a lot to offer and you'll probably find even more favourites. And I'm happy to come along...

God how beautiful, I would have loved to go swimming there!
That sandwich must have tasted good there ???

Rolle and Carina, fantastically beautiful and nice bathing temperature too!

Ama de casa says:
What a fantastic place! I hope they never build a road there, so it can be as it is 🙂 .
An egg sandwich with caviar is not bad at all. But we have started with Klädesholmen's caviar - both cheaper and tastier than Kalle's. At least here 🙂

Nice to see you have blue skies!
The spring in Sweden has been downright miserable!
Tomorrow is summer, I hope it will be better!
Live well!

Mr Steve says:
Magical. I needed your lovely pictures right now as we have rain, high winds and 11°C. However, I've had eggs and caviar for breakfast so I don't feel too sorry for myself.
31 May 2015 - 10:38
Marie says:
Wow, pure Caribbean, except for the lack of palm trees of course. 🙂 I think Corsica went up on the list of travel destinations even more. If there is also Kalles Kaviar there, the holiday is saved. 🙂

Ama de casa, agree! Soooo wonderful that there was no road! And no annoying salesmen! 🙂
Lennart, we understand that it has been a bad spring in Sweden. I really hope you have a better summer!
Steve, sad that you have to have such bad weather!!! Fortunately, the availability of caviar is good 🙂 .
Marie, you can hardly believe you are in Europe when you see these beaches!!!! But Kalles has travelled in the fridge from Sweden 😉.
Solan, haha, yeah right? 😉
Anita, but how nice that we could contribute some inspiration with our pictures! It sounds like a very nice bracelet! 🙂
