Plage de Portigliolo
Portigliolo curves for more than a kilometre, backed by dunes and scrubland where pink rock-roses bloom in May. The sand runs from powder-fine near the waterline to coarser grains where the beach climbs toward the road, and the sea shades from milky jade to deep cerulean at the drop-off.

What's the best time to visit Plage de Portigliolo?
Plage de Portigliolo is ideal during the prime summer months of June through September when Corsica enjoys its best beach weather. This period offers warm temperatures, reliable sunshine, and swimmable water conditions perfect for families and sunbathing. July and August provide the warmest waters but also the most crowds and highest prices. June and September offer excellent alternatives with pleasant weather and fewer visitors.
