Plage de Tamaricciu

Plage de Tamaricciu is a sand beach nestled in a bay with white sand and turquoise water, framed by pine trees and large gray rocks along the shoreline. The landscape blends sandy areas with rocky outcrops that rise naturally from the beach floor.

The beach takes its name from the African Tamarisk, a rare plant that historically marked the bay. The area gained protected status because of its distinctive geological formations and botanical importance.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in the waters near Tamaricciu beach, contributing to the preservation of Corsican maritime heritage.

The beach is accessible via marked paths from parking areas and easily reached on foot. Arriving early during summer months helps avoid crowds.

A striking feature is a solitary pine tree growing from massive gray rocks, creating one of Corsica's most photographed spots. This natural composition draws visitors who want to capture the remarkable blend of tree and stone.
