About

It is one of the beaches of Nonza settlement, just 0.8 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, among the mountains, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a long bay with turquoise water and gray pebble, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The entrance to the water is quite sharp. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities, snorkeling.

Getting to the beach is quite simple: just take a short walk along the trail. Parking is located at some distance, within 300 meters.

3 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is D'Albo beach, which has a rating of 8.2.

Nonza Beach (Haute-Corse) is located outside the Nonza 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 and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike.

The beach is stunning, but during August, it can be quite scorching to trek all the way down. Nonetheless, the stroll to the beach appears delightful.

This beach is absolutely stunning with its incredible colors. What sets it apart are the unique black rocks that dot the shoreline. Unfortunately, it's not a popular spot due to concerns about asbestos from a nearby mine. However, during our visit in July, we didn't encounter anyone on the beach. It's easily visible from the charming village of Nonza, which is definitely worth checking out.

The beach boasts thick, dark grey sand and tiny stones, and the sea drops off suddenly to a deep depth. It appears that the coastline was artificially altered to achieve a depth suitable for human swimming. However, reaching the beach requires a lengthy and winding road.

The view from the village above is breathtaking and the church is definitely worth a visit. However, it's not recommended to spend time on the beach or swim in the water due to the cloud of dust from the abandoned asbestos mine located at the northern end. Plus, it's quite a distance down to the beach anyway.

This beach is really great and one of the most interesting ones in the North. Surprisingly, there weren't too many people when I visited in August, even though it was the busiest day of the year (the 14th). Instead of sand, the beach is covered in small green/dark stones. Just a heads up, you can only reach the beach by walking for 15 minutes and there's no parking nearby. It's not a difficult walk, but it's something to keep in mind. Also, there are no facilities available. Despite these things, the beach is fantastic and definitely worth a visit.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Nonza Beach (Corsica island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Nonza Beach (Corsica island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Nonza Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
