Why visit the Tamaricciu beach in Corsica?<\/h2>\n\n

Known but not known<\/h3>\n\n

Tamaricciu is visually more famous than Palombaggia<\/a> but its name is not very well known.One of its small coves between the main beach and its neighbor Palombaggia is one of the most photographed places in Corsica<\/a>.It’s considered a postcard – perfect with the giant gray rocks and transparent water. The pretty pine tree on the beach, famous in Porto-Vecchio, has disappeared from the landscape, damaged by parasites and the passage of time. Only part of its trunk remains, barked and sanded, to tell the story of this emblematic tree.<\/p>\n\n

But we think that Tamaricciu should be more known. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of southern Corsica<\/a>.It is not very wide but it is a long bay with fine white sand.The water is crystal clear with a turquoise color. It is very tempting to go swimming!<\/p>\n\n

However, one of the reasons it is not as famous as Palombaggia is that it is not as easy to park and access.<\/p>\n\n

The name Tamaricciu<\/h3>\n\n

According to the site of the French Conservatory of Nature,<\/a> Tamaricciu takes its name from the African Tamaris. This protected species is found behind the dunes.The name refers to the small cove south of Palombaggia, but has become the name of the long cove as well, which is normally called Beach Folaca.It continues until the Cap d’Acciagju.<\/p>\n\n
