Plage de Maora, Mediterranean beach in Southern Corsica, France
Plage de Maora is a beach on Southern Corsica's coastline where pale sand meets clear Mediterranean water in a sheltered cove. The shore is bordered by low shrubland and rocky outcrops that give the place a raw, undeveloped feel.
During World War II, the beach served as an observation point for Mediterranean shipping and was part of the island's defensive line. Its exposed location made it strategically important along the Corsican coast.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices near Plage de Maora, contributing to the preservation of Corsican maritime heritage.
The beach is reached via a marked path with parking nearby at the access point. Shallow areas close to shore are suitable for less experienced swimmers, and the cove provides natural shelter from strong currents.
At low tide, small rock pools form in the shallow water where sea creatures live and can be spotted. These natural basins scattered along the cove create a playful contrast to the open beach.
