Until June the highest parts are covered in snow, while sea water already reaches the temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and encourages to have a swim. Corsican beaches are simply wonderful. With your rental car you can visit them and relax. Some are coarse, exposed to the winds, with coastal dangerous sea current. Others attract with their fine white sand and shiny clear shallow water. Tourist infrastructure is very well developed on the coast and conditions are ideal for the practice of various water sports.
