Canella beach, Sandy beach in Sari-Solenzara, France.
Canella is a sandy beach along the Corsican coast featuring fine golden sand and turquoise waters ideal for swimming. The shoreline stretches roughly a kilometer, with shallow areas near the sand that gradually deepen offshore.
The area became a tourist destination during the 1960s when Corsica experienced growth in seaside travel and recreation. Since then it has remained a popular spot for visitors seeking coastal experiences.
The nearby restaurants here serve traditional Corsican cuisine, with fresh catches from local fishermen shaping much of the menu.
The beach offers free parking and rents equipment such as umbrellas and loungers throughout the warmer months. Early morning visits tend to be quieter, allowing you to enjoy the water with fewer crowds around.
The beach sits within a protected natural area where Mediterranean vegetation meets the shoreline directly. This creates a distinct boundary between sand and inland growth rarely seen in heavily developed resort areas.
