Plage de Porto Pollo

Plage de Porto Pollo, Serra-di-Ferro is a serene and picturesque beach located in the southern part of Corsica, France. It lies within the captivating Cupabia Bay, which is shared by the municipalities of Porto-Pollo and Coti-Chiavari. The beach is known for its golden sand, clear blue waters, and scenic surroundings, making it one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. There are two sections of the beach, Porto Pollo u Porticcio and Porto Pollo Centre. Porto Pollo Centre tends to be more crowded and is a popular spot for boats to anchor. However, despite its popularity, the beach is not typically crowded, offering a tranquil environment for relaxation and swimming. The beach's natural characteristics add to its charm. Its clear and transparent waters are due to the sandy sea floor that is devoid of rocks and algae, providing visibility of the small and curious fish that swim around and follow swimmers in the water. The sand on the beach is unique, with larger, heavier grains that stay at the bottom, contributing to the clear water. In terms of amenities, the beach is equipped with a few restaurants and bars located along the beach. However, it does lack a public shower for washing away the salt and sand. Safety is also ensured with a lifeguard on duty, and a yellow line separates the beach from the boat area, providing a safe swimming area for visitors. The beach is part of a somewhat remote village, with the only grocery shop in the area, Spar Supermarche, accessible either by walking or hitchhiking. Despite its remoteness, the beach is considered a hidden gem, offering a tranquil and beautiful environment for visitors to enjoy. The town of Porto Pollo, a small fishing port in the Gulf of Valinco, is known for its excellent scuba diving spots and hiking trails. In terms of parking, no specific information is provided in the source articles. The same applies to the exact directions on how to get to the beach.
