Plage de Roccapina, Sandy beach in Sartène, France
The 400-meter beach features white sand and turquoise waters at the base of a granite formation resembling a lion near the Corsican coast.
The Genoese tower overlooking the beach served as a defense station against maritime invasions during the 16th century Mediterranean conflicts.
The beach remains undeveloped by local conservation efforts, maintaining the natural character typical of southern Corsican coastal landscapes.
Access requires driving on a dirt road from N196 highway near Auberge Coralli, with two parking areas available at both ends of the beach.
The distinctive lion-shaped rock formation above the beach stands as a natural landmark, created through centuries of wind and water erosion.
