Tenutella Beach, Mediterranean beach in Olmeto, France

Tenutella Beach is a sandy beach on the eastern coast of Corsica in the commune of Olmeto, about 1,000 km from Paris. The shoreline lies between rocky formations, and the Taravo River marks a natural boundary at one end. The climate is mild, with average temperatures of 16 °C and about 969 mm of rain per year.

The Taravo River has shaped this coastline over centuries, serving as the boundary between two neighboring communities. This natural division influenced how the landscape developed.

Local fishermen work these waters regularly, maintaining traditional Mediterranean fishing practices that define the rhythm of daily life here. Their presence shapes how locals and visitors experience the shoreline.

Tenutella Beach lies on the coast of Olmeto, reached on foot from Route D157, where parking is available along the road. The footpath is short and suits most visitors. The beach faces east, so mornings are the best time to walk the sand before the sun moves over the water.

Seagrass beds grow in the shallow waters offshore, providing homes for seahorses and young fish. You can sometimes spot these underwater plants when the water is clear.
