Plage de Porto-Novo

The 350-meter-long beach stretches along the Gulf of Porto-Novo, featuring fine sand shores and clear waters surrounded by rocky cliffs.

Ancient Roman galleys used a nearby pond for fresh water supply, with marble columns from a sunken ship still resting nine meters deep offshore.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in the waters of Porto-Novo, contributing to the preservation of Corsican maritime heritage.

Access requires a 30-minute downhill walk from the parking area near the N198 road, located 10 kilometers past the Ajaccio intersection.

Two secluded sandy coves extend to the right of the main beach, accessible through natural paths taking five and twenty-five minutes respectively.
