Calvi Beach
Plage de Calvi
A white-sand bay about 4 km long beneath the citadel, backed by pine forest, with views of the citadel and distant peaks. Its shallow water suits families.
Calvi Beach stretches about 4–6 km southeast from the harbour. It has fine sand and shallow, clear water, and a broad belt of coastal pines behind it provides natural shade. It is one of Corsica’s most popular city beaches. The section near the harbour has many beach clubs and restaurants that rent loungers and watersports equipment, and it grows quieter further east. Looking back from the beach, you can see the citadel and distant peaks, often snow-capped, for superb views. The coordinates given are an estimate for the middle of the beach. Parking is difficult in summer, so walking or cycling is recommended.
