Plage d’Erba Rossa
France · Corse
The Erba Rossa beach in Ghisonaccia, Upper Corsica, is a beautiful stretch of fine sand bordered by a lively campsite. Located just a few minutes from the center of Ghisonaccia, it offers easy access from the D144 and attracts families for its calm waters in summer.
This spot is popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing due to its exposure to the winds from the east coast. Next to Marina d'Oru beach, it remains a convenient choice for riders passing through the region.
The environment is typical of eastern Corsica, with a relaxed atmosphere and activities like beach volleyball or paddle directly on site.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The Erba Rossa beach is oriented east-west, making it ideal for side-shore winds coming from the NNE, NE, SE, or SSE, the recommended directions for kitesurfing. The launch is directly from the fine sand, with no major obstacles, and the take-off area is wide due to the clear space from the adjacent campsite.
The water is generally chop with small waves, perfect for freeride training or moderate jumps. In case of side-on wind from the NE or SE, navigation remains comfortable over a large offshore area, but care should be taken to stay away from swimmers in high season.
No school on site, so bring your gear. Sessions work well in the morning or late afternoon when the thermal picks up, with enough space to launch without interfering with other camping activities like jet skiing.
