Arone beach, Sand beach in Piana, France
The beach extends along a curved bay with fine sand and clear water, flanked by red granite cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation.
During World War II, the Casabianca submarine used Arone beach as a strategic point to deliver supplies to resistance fighters in Corsica.
The beach maintains connections to traditional Corsican maritime practices, where local fishermen continue their centuries-old fishing methods in the surrounding waters.
Visitors can access the beach via the D824 road from Piana, with parking facilities and restaurants available during the summer season.
The beach sits near the Scandola Nature Reserve, where red granite formations create natural sculptures that emerge from the Mediterranean Sea.
