Plage du Ricanto, Mediterranean beach in Ajaccio, France.
Ricanto Beach is a sandy stretch about three kilometers long along the Mediterranean coast, extending from Aspretto to the Capitello tower. The sand is lined by hills that frame views of the sea and surrounding landscape.
The beach took shape as a recreational destination alongside Ajaccio's growth and contributed to the port city's identity. Over time it evolved into a significant gathering spot for both residents and visitors.
This beach has long been a gathering place for locals who spend summer days with their families and share meals close to the water. The spot reflects the town's connection to the sea and its coastal way of life.
The beach has marked swimming zones with lifeguards and is easy to reach with free parking along the coastal road. Visitors with limited mobility will find facilities that make water access easier.
At the southern end near the Capitello tower there is a separate section for naturists, divided from the rest of the beach. This area attracts people looking for a less crowded spot.
