About Plage de Santa Giulia
A perfect crescent of white sand enclosing a shallow, lagoon-like bay near Porto-Vecchio in southern Corsica, the Plage de Santa Giulia is one of the island's most idyllic beaches. Sheltered by rocky headlands and scattered granite islets, its water is so calm, warm and impossibly clear that it shades from palest turquoise to deep blue, ideal for families, swimmers and paddleboarders. Behind the sand lie maquis-covered hills and a scattering of resorts, but the beach itself keeps its dreamlike beauty. Whether admired from the water or from the pines at its edge, Santa Giulia offers the quintessential image of the Corsican coast — soft white sand, tropical-blue shallows and the fragrant, sun-baked hills of the Île de Beauté rising just behind.
