Tamarone Beach

Highlight • Lake

Tamarone Beach is located on the east coast of Corsica near Macinaggio (municipality of Rogliano) and is considered one of the most beautiful, quiet beach destinations in Cap Corse.

🌊 Brief description:
Nature & surroundings: Approximately 500 meters of fine sandy beach, framed by Mediterranean scrubland (maquis), pebble and rocky coves. The vegetation appears wild and untouched.

Water & marine life: Crystal-clear turquoise water with good visibility – ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or sports activities such as paddleboarding and kitesurfing.

Access: Accessible via a 2.5 km unpaved road by car or on foot via the "Sentier des Douaniers" (Customs Path) – accordingly, it is rather quiet and unspoiled.

Services & infrastructure: Parking available, seasonal paillote (beach café) nearby. Several smaller, quieter coves are located nearby. Posidonia seagrass grows in places on the sand.
In a nutshell:
Tamarone is a protected sandy beach with fine sand and crystal-clear water, nestled in a wild coastal landscape. It impresses with its tranquil atmosphere and its direct location on the historic coastal path – perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the unspoiled nature and the sea.

View from the coast to Punta Vecchia

Highlight • Other

The view of the coast of Punta Vecchia is breathtaking, with its steep cliffs plunging into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Along the shore you can admire the spectacular profile of Punta Vecchia jutting out into the sea. Don't miss the tower of Santa-Maria-della-Chiapella, a must-see from this location.
