Plage de la Roya, Sandy beach along the Gulf of Saint-Florent, France
The long shoreline extends west of Aliso River toward the coastal path, offering a mix of sand and pebble areas near Saint-Florent port.
The beach marks the beginning of the trail leading to the Agriates desert, a historical zone that contains ancient coastal defense structures.
Local restaurants along the beach serve traditional Corsican dishes while water sports centers maintain regional maritime traditions.
Multiple parking areas line Pezzu Road, with lifeguards monitoring the beach during summer and facilities including showers and equipment rentals.
The beach transitions from an urban setting near the port to natural Mediterranean scrubland with pine trees providing shade.
