Plage de Saleccia is an unspoiled Corsica beach that is undoubtedly a favorite of frequent visitors. While not as secret as it used to be, the secluded beachfront is an ideal spot to relax on the Mediterranean, explore the rocky and fauna-covered vicinity and unwind with your toes wiggling into the soft sand.
No longer a submarine landing spot to supply resistance fighters during WWII, the clandestine nature of the beach adds to the appeal because a trip here means it’s you, nature and a rustic snack shop–that’s it. Don’t hesitate to make Saleccia your new favorite Corsica beach.
What are the highlights of Plage de Saleccia in Corsica?
By far the most popular feature of Plage de Saleccia is its natural beauty. The natural beauty captivates visitors who can delight in bathing in the aquamarine water, lounging on ½ mile of soft ivory sand, exploring coastal dunes with comfortable shade, photographing picturesque rocky outcroppings and admiring sculpturesque driftwood.
Saleccia is a bit more popular than other more secluded Corsica beaches, but the charm of unspoiled sand is not lost, and there are some facilities that include a snack shop. Boats are more popular here as well, which allows greater access to the inlet views and accessibility by water taxi cab.
What else is good to know about Plage de Saleccia in Corsica?
Plage de Saleccia can be reached by water or land with an off-road vehicle. Water taxi cabs are the most popular option because locals run them almost all hours of the day, whereas arriving by land requires hiring an off-road vehicle as the time required to hike is more than what most travelers can afford.
There is a small snack shop that provides some refreshments, but visitors are encouraged to bring all of the beach amenities they want for the day as rentals are unavailable, such as umbrellas or chairs. There are toilet and shower facilities, which makes Saleccia especially appealing for families.
