Beaches in Algajola (20223) France - advise, map and photos

Algajola is a seaside resort located in the department of Haute-Corse, between Calvi and Ile-Rousse. It is a small seaside town located on several small hills, once terraces, now covered in scrub, wild olive trees and oak trees; the region of Balagne is also called the garden of Corsica.

Its fishing port is charming, its fortress overlooking the sea and the remains of the ancient Phoenician city on which it was built. The fortified castle of Algajola, built in the early sixteenth century and classified as a historic monument is a must-see, as is the small port of San Damiano, the citadel, and the Chapel of Saint-Michael erected by the sea in the twelfth century, constantly windswept.

Many activities are offered throughout the coast and to the tip of Barcale: diving, jet skiing, hiking...
