Plage de la Terre Sacrée

You anchor off one of Ajaccio's most beautiful stretches of sand, with a striking 1933 WWI memorial standing on shore — an urn inside holds remains honoring the thousands of Corsicans who died for France in the Great War. The setting is hard to beat: crystal-clear water, granite rocks dotting the shoreline, and the Sanguinaires Islands framing the horizon just to the west.
