About

Fiume Santo is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 14th place out of 92 beaches in the Haute-Corse region 16.1 km away from its center, the city of Bastia. It is one of the beaches of Saint-Florent settlement, just 4.7 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a small bay with crystal turquoise water and bright sand, so you don't need special shoes. The entrance to the water is very smooth. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

Fiume Santo coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities, sup-surfing, sea kayaking.

To get to the beach, you need to walk along a mountain trail more than 1km long.

5 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Plage De Saleccia, which has a rating of 8.7.

Fiume Santo (Haute-Corse) is located outside the Saint-Florent settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Corsica island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

I'm planning on checking out another stunningly clear beach at Cap Corse during my next island boat trip.

The beach is easily accessible by foot and offers a rocky area where you can spot some vibrant fish. However, the nearby river emits an unpleasant odor of sulfur or rotten eggs. On the bright side, the sea boasts a stunning array of blue hues.
