July marks the true heart of summer in Corsica. Temperatures have soared dramatically, and the sun shines brightly over Porticcio, making the days perfect for enjoying the sea and the island's cooler spots! Between swimming, hiking, and exploring local attractions, your summer vacation in Corsica can be memorable, even during a heatwave. A few simple tips will help you cope with the sweltering temperatures and make the most of every moment.
Unlimited sun and beach
The Gulf of Ajaccio offers a range of beaches to suit all tastes: some very busy but lively, others more secret for quiet moments.
Avoid peak times : swim early in the morning or late in the afternoon to enjoy the calmer sea.
Water activities for young and old : paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, or simply floating in the sun on the turquoise water.
Cooling tip : If the heat becomes overwhelming, don't hesitate to explore the natural pools and rivers of southern Corsica. Some require a short hike, but the cool, clear water is a real treat for cooling off!
Activities and outings
Even in the middle of summer, it is possible to fully enjoy the island while staying cool:
Hiking and excursions : explore forests, mountains or shaded villages to escape the heatwave (don't forget your water bottles!).
Local discovery : Corsican markets and artisans, cheese and charcuterie tasting, and why not a visit to A Cupulatta , the unique animal park in Europe dedicated to turtles, ideal for an outing in the shade.
Relaxation moments : reading, cocktails, family games, gourmet workshops or yoga to reconnect with nature and recharge your batteries.
Home tip : During the hottest hours, close your shutters, windows, and doors to keep your house cool. Only open them in the evening to enjoy the night breeze, and keep your fans running to prevent mosquitoes from invading!
