Cala beach

Cala beach is a wide sandy stretch along the Mediterranean coast near Porto Vecchio with gentle slopes and scattered rock formations at water's edge. The shallow waters make it well-suited for swimming and exploring underwater life.

The location emerged as a tourist destination during the 1970s, shifting from an unspoiled coastal area into a popular recreational spot. This transformation reflected broader tourism growth across the island.

Small cafes dotted along the shore serve fresh seafood sourced from the nearby Porto Vecchio harbor, where local fishermen still work their boats. This food tradition shows how deeply the community remains connected to fishing.

The beach has parking areas and equipment rental services that operate seasonally during warmer months. Basic medical assistance is available on-site during peak season.

The location offers a rare advantage where visitors can watch sunrise over the Mediterranean and see the Corsican mountains in a single view. This double landscape experience is uncommon for Mediterranean beaches.
