Plage d'Argent
The name promises silver, and the beach delivers: fine white sand that squeaks underfoot and barely holds heat even at midday. Tucked into a sheltered cove, the shore curves gently between low granite outcrops that glow pink in morning light.

Questions people actually ask about Plage d'Argent.
Is Plage d'Argent safe for swimming with children?
Plage d'Argent is generally safe for families and children, with calm, clear waters that are ideal for swimming. The beach's protected position in the Ajaccio Gulf typically means gentle waves and good visibility. However, always supervise children closely as there are no lifeguards on duty year-round. The seabed is sandy and slopes gradually, making it easier for young swimmers. Check local conditions before entering the water, as wind can occasionally create stronger currents.
When is the best time to visit Plage d'Argent?
The optimal time to visit Plage d'Argent is from June through September when weather conditions are most favorable, with warm temperatures and calm seas. July and August offer the warmest water but attract the largest crowds. For a quieter experience with still-pleasant conditions, consider late May, early June, or September. Mornings typically offer the best light for photography given the beach's turquoise waters and pale sand, while afternoons can bring refreshing sea breezes.
