Porra offers visitors a secluded destination amongst some of the best beaches on Corsica. Located on the southeastern coast of the island, the little village of Porra can be found on the thin strip of land edged by both the Gulf of Porto Vecchio and the Gulf of Santa Giulia. Beach holidays in Porra are ideal for those looking for a quiet isolated resort, with the emphasis on relaxing on the fabulous sandy beaches nearby. Porra also offers a quick and convenient transfer time of just 25 minutes from Figari airport.
Relax on soft white sands and swim in turquoise waters
Ideally situated on the southeastern coast, Porra gives visitors the chance to relax on perhaps the most well-known beach on Corsica, and one of the most highly rated in Europe, Palombaggia. With its white sands and turquoise sea, Palombaggia is more like a Caribbean beach, but backed by pine trees and red granite rocks, and families enjoying a holiday in Porra will appreciate the shallow waters and ideal swimming conditions. Watersports are available on Palombaggia Beach, with facilities for wind-surfing, kite-surfing and kayaking. Porra also boasts the glorious beach of Cala di la Folaca, a smaller beach with a lagoon, but just as appealing as the ever-popular Palombaggia, and quieter in high season.
Visit Porto Vecchio with its' extensive shopping and dining
Porra's location also offers visitors the chance to easily visit the picturesque towns nearby, namely Porto Vecchio, a sophisticated resort with a lively marina perfect for people-watching, and the dramatic Bonifacio, set deep in the rugged chalk cliffs. Holidays here will also satisfy the nature-lover, with day trips available to the Ospedale Forest and the Alto Rocca region, to enjoy some spectacular walks and hikes. Hire a car to explore the other resorts and towns on the island of Corsica, and really get the most out of your holiday in Porra.
