Beaches of Moriani Plage & the East Coast
This stretch of Corsica’s coast is renowned for its long, sandy beaches, gently shelving waters and relaxed atmosphere.
Why choose the east coast for your beach holiday?
The Costa Verde coastline stretches for around 15 miles, offering a succession of sandy beaches that are easy to reach. Unlike some of Corsica’s more rugged coastlines, the east is relatively open and gently sloping, creating broad beaches where there’s plenty of room to spread out.
The shallow waters are particularly appealing to families with younger children, while the combination of sea and mountains gives the region a beautiful natural setting.
5 reasons to choose the East Coast
- Long, spacious beaches: miles of fine sand give beachgoers plenty of room, even during summer, with quieter stretches easily found nearby.
- Perfect for families: gently shelving beaches and shallow waters create ideal conditions for children to paddle, swim and play safely.
- Easy beach access: free parking, accessible facilities and straightforward routes to the sand make beach days particularly hassle-free here.
- Great for water sports: Moriani offers all manner of water sports, from paddleboarding and pedalos to waterskiing and wakeboarding.
- A relaxed alternative: the east coast feels less glamorous and crowded than southern Corsica, offering an easy-going, laid-back beach experience.
Moriani Plage
Moriani-Plage is the Costa Verde’s main seaside resort, centred around a long, broad sweep of golden sand with the green foothills of Castagniccia rising behind.
Its gently shelving shoreline and clear, relatively shallow waters make it particularly attractive to families, while the spacious beach leaves plenty of room for sunbathing and beach games.
It’s also one of the region’s best-equipped beaches, with restaurants and cafés nearby and a choice of seasonal water sports including kayaking, paddleboarding, waterskiing, wakeboarding, pedalos, jet skis, parasailing and towed inflatables.
Easy access and practical facilities make Moriani a great all-rounder for families, couples and water sports enthusiasts.

Expert’s opinion
“You’ll be surprised at how vast the beaches are in this region. They may not grab the headlines as much as Corsica’s more famous beaches to the south or west, but they should not be overlooked. Due to their size, even in summer there’s space to spread out.”
