Plage d'Argent, Sandy beach in Sartène, France.
Plage d'Argent is a sandy beach near Sartène featuring pale sand and azure waters bordered by rust-colored rocks and small secluded coves. The shore runs along an unspoiled stretch of the Gulf of Murtoli without development or crowds.
The beach sits near the Cauria archaeological site, indicating ancient settlements that once inhabited this section of coast. This connection shows the region held importance for human communities since antiquity.
The name Plage d'Argent means Silver Beach, referring to its pale sand that catches the light in silvery tones. Locals and visitors use this shore as a gateway to experiencing the wild side of Corsica's coastline.
The beach is reached by a roughly 25-minute walk from the Tralicetu parking area, following a marked trail along the Mediterranean coast. The hike passes through natural terrain and gives you a real sense of the shoreline on foot.
Above the beach rise sand dunes that shelter rare Corsican species found nowhere else. A small stream lined with tamarisk trees separates this dune zone from the water's edge.
