Saint-François Beach

There’s nothing like a bay to provide a great view of a beach. You’re looking at the Saint-François beach, surrounded by a promenade of palm trees. It’s a very popular beach among locals as it islocated right in the heart of the city center. It was also a much sought-after spot for seine fishermen, the ancient technique of catching fish on the surface of the water, encircling them with a special net called a seine. The beach has lost around 20 meters of its width, hence the current debate about resanding it. In the distance, you can see the new town at the foot of the mountains. Corsica is also a real playground for mountain hikers, so don’t hesitate to ask around and see what the view is like from up there!
