Plage de Saleccia
France · Corse
What riders say
Access to the spot is difficult and isolated: make sure to have enough water, food, and emergency equipment before you go.
There is no immediate rescue infrastructure on site, so good physical condition and minimal experience are recommended.
The path from Lotu beach crosses dense maquis: wear appropriate shoes and be careful on steep slopes.
If you come by 4x4 via the track from Casta, it is very bumpy and reserved for true 4x4s: do not attempt the adventure with a standard car.
The Corsican cows present on the beach are generally harmless but should be respected and kept at a proper distance.
Check the schedules of the maritime shuttles before leaving, as they mainly operate from April to October.

Saleccia beach, located in the Agriates desert in Upper Corsica, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. With over a kilometer of fine white sand bordered by Aleppo pines and fragrant maquis, it is a true preserved paradise. The difficult access to this spot ensures a certain tranquility and a unique wild atmosphere.
What characterizes Saleccia is its deliberate isolation. No direct road, no intrusive shops, just a dream beach with crystal clear turquoise water. You can regularly encounter Corsican cows that come to nap by the beach, which adds to the authentic charm of the place. It is a spot that is earned, but truly worth it.
