1/8

Family-friendly site near Biguglia with direct beach access
A 15-minute drive from Bastia and an hour from Cap Corse
Heated pool, summer activities and beachfront bar/restaurant

The coast of Corsica is generally a great place to be… and it’s even better when you’re staying at Camping San Damiano, in the north of the island about 10 minutes’ drive from Biguglia. This seaside site is in a pine forest between a sandy beach and a lake, so it’s got fine views whichever way you turn. Being in this handy coastal position means that it’s simple to stroll straight out onto the beach whenever you fancy it – nearby providers nearby can sort you with days of sailing, scuba diving and horse riding if you’d like a bit more seaside activity. Activities for kids and grownups are organised on site through high season too, and there’s scope for games of pétanque and table tennis or time at the large playground for the kids. If you’re more in the mood for chillout time, claim a sun lounger by the heated pool and put your feet up in between swims while the kids splash safely in the paddling pool. Either way, you can round off your day with the entertainment that runs throughout the summer: live music, shows and quizzes are often on the bill. Eating makes a good way to pass the time here too – the site has a restaurant looking out over the beach where you can dine on pizzas, salads, fresh fish and Corsican classics or grab a seat in the bar area and just sip on a cool cocktail or two. There’s a mini market on site too if you’d rather do your own catering.

Local attractions

It’s worth making time to get away from the beach and on-site activities to take a wander around Bastia (15 minutes’ drive away). The lively city is packed with Baroque churches to admire, narrow alleyways to stroll through and Italian-style squares to sip coffee in; come along at the weekend to pick at local foodie bits from the stalls on Place du Marché. Keep going north past Bastia (driving for the best part of an hour) and you’ll come to Cap Corse, a wilder peninsula with traditional little villages and some stunning views. Hikes and drives are both most rewarding up here – bring a camera along for either. Closer to home you can catch glimpses of the local wildlife (including flamingos) at the Réserve Naturelle de l' Etang de Biguglia just behind the site, or set out to seek underwater creatures on a scuba diving trip from Bastia. Sailing and horse riding providers are about two kilometres from the site.
