The campsite beach, on foot from your accommodation
Golfo di Sogno has its own beach, at the head of the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio: a sandy beach lined by the pine forest, reached on foot from the pitches and rentals, with no car and no parking. The water is calm and shallow, sheltered by the gulf: it is the children’s beach, the morning paddleboard beach and the evening swim beach. During the day, you switch between the beach and the campsite’s supervised pool area. Dogs are not allowed there.
North of the gulf: Cala Rossa, Saint-Cyprien, Pinarello
- Cala Rossa (5 to 8 minutes): a string of small sandy coves between pines and granite rocks, very quiet. The place for mask and snorkel.
- Saint-Cyprien (10 minutes): a wide bay of fine sand, open and shallow a long way out, ideal for families, with water sports in season.
- Pinarello (20 to 25 minutes): a sandy beach facing the islet and its Genoese tower, in a former fishing village. A little further on, Fautea beach and its tower, for lovers of scenery.
To the south: Palombaggia, Tamaricciu, Santa Giulia
- Palombaggia (25 to 35 minutes via Porto-Vecchio): white sand, umbrella pines, pink rocks and turquoise water, the most photographed beach in Corsica. Very busy in July and August: go early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
- Tamaricciu: the quieter southern extension of Palombaggia, reached on foot from the main beach.
- Santa Giulia (25 to 35 minutes): a lagoon of shallow, crystal-clear water, perfect with young children, and a base for paddleboarding and dinghy sailing.
Towards Bonifacio: Rondinara and the wild beaches
- Rondinara (40 to 45 minutes): the shell-shaped bay, calm water and fine sand. The access road is narrow; in summer, leave early.
- Balistra: a wild beach with no facilities, at the end of a track, for those who want space.
- Petit and Grand Sperone, near Bonifacio: two beaches reached on foot, facing the Lavezzi islands.
- The Lavezzi islands: by boat from the port of Porto-Vecchio or from Bonifacio, for a day of coves and snorkelling.
Our beach tips
- In July and August, set off before 10 am or after 4 pm for Palombaggia, Santa Giulia and Rondinara: the car parks fill up fast.
- Keep one day without the car: the campsite beach, the pool and the pine forest are more than enough.
- Bring a mask, snorkel and water shoes for the rocky coves of Cala Rossa and the point at Palombaggia.
- Dogs: not allowed on the campsite beach; on the other beaches, access is usually restricted or forbidden in season, so check before you go.
A typical day from the campsite
In the morning, a swim and breakfast at the campsite, then drive to a beach in the south before the crowds. Picnic or lunch on the spot, back mid-afternoon for the pool or the campsite beach, and dinner at the restaurant under the pines. The next day, stay put or explore the coves to the north, a few minutes away.
