Plage du Grand Capo, Sandy beach in Gulf of Ajaccio, France
The one-kilometer sandy beach stretches along the Minaccia cove, facing the Sanguinaires Islands and offering views of the Mediterranean Sea.
The beach connects to the historic Customs Officers' Trail, a path initially created for maritime surveillance during the 18th century French administration.
Local residents gather at Grand Capo for traditional Corsican beach activities, including pétanque tournaments and seasonal fishing practices.
Visitors can access the beach via an 8-kilometer drive from Ajaccio center, following Route des Sanguinaires and turning right onto D111B.
The beach divides into two sections: the main Grand Capo area and the smaller Sevani section, with a natural field separation between them.
