SPOT
Saleccia beach
One of the most beautiful beaches in northern Corsica
In the north of Corsica, a magnificent white sand beach, Saleccia beach, extends over more than one kilometer. Located in the town of Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda in the Agriates Desert, it has remained surprisingly preserved. This paradisiacal place is in fact very difficult to reach by car, only a 12 km chaotic track leads to it. We therefore come there on foot or on horseback following the coastal path or by boat, to the delight of hikers or navigators who spend a moment cut off from the world.
