Plage De Pinarello
About
Plage de Pinarello is a sprawling 2‑kilometre stretch of pristine white sand nestled on the southern coast of Corsica, just a short drive from the town of Porto Vecchio. The beach is framed by a gentle pine stand that gives it the nickname “Pinarello,” and it opens to crystal‑clear waters of Pinarello Bay, offering a tranquil escape for sun‑bathers and swimmers alike. Visitors to Pinarello can enjoy a range of water sports—from snorkeling to paddle‑boarding—while the sandy shore remains wide and flat, making it especially family‑friendly. The surrounding pine trees provide natural shade, and the beach’s gentle slope ensures that both children and elderly guests can stroll along the water’s edge comfortably. A host of nearby cafés, pizzerias and gelato stands supply refreshing local treats, and the area is well equipped with parking spaces and accessible restrooms. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed day by the sea or a scenic spot to enjoy a sunset, Pinarello Beach offers a blend of natural beauty, comfort, and local flavor that epitomises the charm of Corsica’s southern coastline.
