Rare Hlitner Posted August 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2022 So you do have some choices. But given the short time in port you might want to simply walk over to the city's own beach (Plage Saint-Francois) which is within walking distance of the pier (towards your left). You should take some towels since I do not recall seeing lounge rentals. There are also quite a few cafes/restaurants between the port and that beach. When we were most recently in Ajaccio (April) the moules et frites were wonderful :). But in April there is no way anyone was heading to the beach.

Since we are the only ship in port that day, it shouldn't be too crowded then 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted August 6, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) in Ajaccio on a Sunday mid-Sept. best beach (or other option) Ajaccio is itself a rather attractive town to explore even should you have no interest in Napoleon or his family and you may decide to have a beach/town mix to fill your day. There have been a number of recent posts for Corsica and Ajaccio and I think you would find it helpful to read them. The more you read the more options you will have and you can then decide which which ones appeal to you personally. Finding previous threads is very easy. Go to this FRANCE PORTS forum, but not to any individual thread. Log in Just under your username you will see an empty SEARCH BOX, Input the name of Ajaccio (and perhaps a second try afterwards with Corsica as Ajaccio is often mentioned within threads about Corsica.) click ON THIS FORUM from the dropdown under the search box. Hit the little magnifying glass and all previous threads with that name will appear in the results ready for you to read. Repeat the process for other individual ports (on the correct forum if they are in eg italy or France or wherever) Edited August 6, 2022 by edinburgher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
