Nature itself has done an excellent job of making this town a perfect destination for a beach holiday. For example, the Mediterranean Sea temperature near Porto-Vecchio makes it one of the French resorts with the longest swimming season.
By early June, the average water temperature reaches around +22°C. In the height of summer, it can rise by another 3–4 degrees. The sea warms up well, especially in shallow coastal areas, so it’s safe to say that the water remains pleasant for swimming until mid-autumn.
Corsican resorts are famous for their calm seas and gentle waves. Tides and ebbs in Porto-Vecchio are nothing travelers or beach lovers need to worry about, particularly during the summer season. It’s no coincidence that, for many years, caring parents have chosen this coastline for their children, considering the local sea calm and safe.
