The beaches are some of the best in Europe
The south of Corsica is a land of hyperbole, boasting some of
the whitest sands and clearest seas in Europe. The Plage de
Palombaggia is one of the finest, backed by pine trees and with
striking views of the Îles Cerbicale. The north has beautiful
alternatives with fewer people; head to the 30km peninsula of Cap
Corse for vistas and waters to rival the popular south.
