Saleccia beach is one of the best-known beaches on the island, located in the Agriates desert, in the north of Corsica. It is only accessible by boat, on foot or by 4×4 from land. This is probably the beach not to be missed for any stay in Haute-Corse.
This strip of white sand is deserted, without any construction, which makes it beautiful and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Corsica. It retains a natural and authentic character which enhances the beauty of the place, between crystal clear water and Mediterranean soil. Saleccia is bordered by the Corsican maquis and dunes, in the heart of the Desert of Agriates, one of the most beautiful natural treasures that the Isle of Beauty offers you.
To discover this gem, the more romantic can choose a water taxi from Saint-Florent, while families will prefer a 4×4 ride through the Corsican maquis before arriving at the coveted beach. Older children will also be able to experience the quad or buggy, to make the most of the landscapes… and the bumps, with a journey that is both fun and beautiful ! Be careful, the track is 15 km long and you should definitely not venture there by car and doing it on foot is possible, but requires good physical condition.
You can also take a 4×4 tour including Saleccia Beach and the nearby Lotu Beach.
Several departures are possible from , which boasts one of the most beautiful locations in the North of the Island, barely 300 m from this heavenly beach.
A feeling of the end of the world somewhere under the Caribbean sun
In summer, you still have to arrive early enough to make the most of the silence and calm of nature, watching the reflections of the sun on this magnificent setting.
The beach is ideal for children, because it descends very gently into crystal clear and warm turquoise water, as soft and transparent as a bath !
They will be able to marvel at the fish with the snorkeling spot, or at the Corsican cows which sometimes indolently welcome tourists from the continent.
The start of the track is located 3.5 km after the small hamlet of Casta (D81) coming from Saint-Florent and it branches off at the end, with Saleccia on the left and Plage du Lotu on the right.
