Plage de la Tonnara, Sandy beach near Bonifacio, France
Located between Figari and Bonifacio, La Tonnara beach extends along a curved bay with sand and colored rocks facing the Mediterranean Sea.
During the 17th century, local fishermen used specialized nets called tonnara to catch large fish such as tuna and swordfish in these waters.
The remains of a Genoese tower at the entrance of the small port reflect the historical maritime significance of this Corsican coastal region.
A large free parking area sits adjacent to the beach, with two restaurants serving regional Corsican dishes during the summer season.
Pink-tinted sand and offshore islets create a natural lagoon with gentle slopes, making it suitable for both swimming and water sports.
