Beaches in Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda (20246) France - advise, map and photos

Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda, a small village located in Haute-Corse at the foot of Mount Tenda, is a huge wild commune famous for its beautiful beaches.

It is located on the territory of the Agriates, a desert composed of local species, heather, olive trees, pines, and the torn coastline hides beautiful locations including the beaches of Lodu, Ghignu, Malfalcu and Saleccia which hosted the shooting of the film "The Longest Day" in 1962. It is famous for being one of the most beautiful of Corsica. The first one is accessible from the coastal footpath or by seafront only and Malfalcu is at the end of a track. Saleccia must also be earned, 4 hours on foot on the coastal footpath from Roya Beach in St. Florent or from a track from Casta. Ghignu is also accessible by a track from Casta.

This exceptional site is ideal for hiking, many paths roam the landscapes of the Nebbiu region and it is not uncommon to come across the remains of past civilizations: megaliths in the hamlet of Casta on Monte Revincu, dolmens and menhirs or the Church of St. John the Evangelist dating from the XVI century, a jewel of Baroque art. The convent of Saint Joseph from the thirteenth Century is a must see.
