After the recent storm on July 15, the beach turned into a very unpleasant place with LOTS of algae that noone is cleaning or moving to the side. Meters of algae along all beach line which is stuck into heavy smelly piles with dead medusa. You will have to walk through this mess for 5-7 meters before entering clear water and often you get stuck. We couldn’t stay and left. It’s such a disappointment. We have been coming to this beach every year since 2016.

From the camping in Macinaggio there is a rough road to the Plage de Tamarone. At the beach there is a small restaurant called U Paradiso. From the beach you can also follow the Sentier des Douaniers (a walking trail) to most north-eastern point of Corsica. You will see three little islands belonging to Corsica and may return at the Santa Maria beach, from there is a small path leading you back to the Plage de Tamarone (1,2 km length), the other way along the cost is longer. The sea-water is very clear.
