What to do in La Roya beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the La Roya beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than La Roya beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at La Roya beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

In most cases, the question What to do on La Roya beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

I camped at this beach in October 1990 and had the place all to myself for five days. It was an amazing experience with perfect weather.

The beach is perfect for families with young children as the water is shallow. There are some rocks in the middle of the beach, which offer decent snorkeling opportunities. However, the water is slightly murky, and unfortunately, there was a dead fish on the beach emitting a foul smell.

The beach near Saint Florent is fantastic, with crystal clear water, lovely sand, and breathtaking views of the town and mountains. The trees that grow along the beach are a unique and convenient feature, providing refreshing shade on hot days.

This is the best beach we've visited on Corsica with our toddler. The beach offers plenty of shade and the water is pleasantly warm. We enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it to families.
