Plage de Santa Giulia — Attraction in Sartène

Why does this beach have only 4.3 points??? It deserves 5 stars and 4.8 points AT LEAST! Yes, it is very crowded, but if you visited Mallorca or Sardinia, you will know this is nothing. There is always a place for your towel somewhere here in Santa Giulia beach. The beach is long so you don’t have to stay at the beginning of the beach. You can try going somewhere in the middle, though the beach in the middle is very narrow. But! The water is shallow, super warm, with amazing turquoise color. I stayed hours in the water! And yes, parking is expensive, we visited this beach on July 15th around 11am and parked at the first parking we saw, which was 10 euros. Someone mentioned in the comments there is a parking for 5 euros but we didn’t find that one. But you don’t have to walk too far, so it is worth it. I just love this beach, i mean look at the pics!

Update: we visited this beach again on July 18th at the same time, around 11am and first parking was full. Second parking was 15 euros, and it had free spaces. But the beach was much fuller than the first time we came. Nevertheless, it was...

NOT THE ONE AND ONLY, but definitely ONE OF THE BEST. Why? Heaven on earth, just too many people. Other than that, simply stunning ❤️

Powdery white sandy beaches with crystal clear water like in the best Caribbean places in the world. There is everything available for entertainment that you could think of, from bars, to beach clubs, to restaurants and hotels to gadgets of any kind.

COME EARLY to get a good spot on the beach. Beach clubs are between 35-60 per person and mostly fully booked with waiting lists.

SNORKELING is just great there. The water is safe and mostly shallow. We spotted a ton of fish from small to medium, starfishes, and even various STINGRAYS. a dream come true for anyone with kids.

PARKING is easy if you go to a beach club. Otherwise use dedicated private parking for EUR 8.-, which is fair for a spot in high demand like this one.

There is a ton of things more to say, however better just try for yourself or put in a question as a...

The beach consists of a long narrow strip of fine clean sand (between 10m and 30m in width), skirting a bay of very shallow clear water which extends at least 50 m from the shoreline. The setting is hardly spectacular but the peninsula making up the South side of the bay provides a pretty backdrop. On a fine sunny weekday afternoon towards the end of September the beach was busy, but not oppressively so. All the usual water sports/activities were available and the beach is also a drop-off/pick-up point for cruises along the coast. Various bars - none very special - are dotted along the central part of the beach, closest to the parking areas. Was it quiet or romantic : no, would it be a fine place for small children to paddle in the water : emphatically yes. In line with the reports from other reviewers, I can easily imagine that it would be an absolute zoo in...
