Ficaghjola beach is a discreet cove<\/strong> where locals come to soak up the sun at the end of the day. Although modest in size, it offers a rock-lined bathing spot that’s easy to access from downtown Bastia. We enjoyed the panoramic view of the city walls and, above all, the beautiful promenade that precedes it!In this article, you’ll find our photos and tips for making the most of your visit to the Plage de Ficaghjola in Bastia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Is Ficaghjola Beach worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, this beach is well worth a visit, mainly for its magnificent promenade and panoramic views over Bastia. We’re particularly fond of U Spassimare, the gentle seafront path that leads to it, offering a most pleasant stroll.Although swimming is not ideal due to its proximity to the road, the transparency of the water is seductive. Its downtown location makes it ideal for a refreshing break between visits. Even without swimming, the site is well worth a visit for its unique view of the city.<\/p>\n\n

Type of beach<\/h2>\n\n

Sand or no sand?<\/h3>\n\n

The beach floor is made up of fairly thick sand, dotted with numerous shells. We’ve noticed that the beach is very small, which means that when it’s busy, you may have to set up your towel on the surrounding rocks.<\/p>\n\n

Swimming conditions and supervision<\/h3>\n\n

Access to the water is on a gentle slope, making swimming accessible to all. The water is remarkably clear and shallow close to shore. However, we recommend that you wear swimming shoes if you have sensitive feet. Jellyfish may also be present, depending on the season.<\/p>\n\n

One point to consider: as the beach runs alongside the main road, the noise of passing cars and pollution can sometimes disturb the peace and quiet of the place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The beach is not officially supervised, but a first-aid post is available during the summer season.<\/p>\n\n

Installations<\/h3>\n\n

We didn’t see any showers or toilets on the beach. There are no sunshade or deckchair rentals available either. We recommend this beach for a short lunch break during your visit.<\/p>\n\n
