Beach Description

A short distance away is a small additional cove and immediately behind the beach a lagoon adds to the natural beauty of the area.

There are excellent water sport facilities (for lessons and rentals), and some first class beach restaurants. San Ciprianu is highly recommended for children, as the bay is gently-sloping and there are plenty of activities on offer to keep them entertained. A swimming area is clearly cordoned, and there are even floating pontoons for children to jump off. Boats and yachts are attracted to the picture postcard bay, and can make use of the sea taxi service to the popular beach restaurant VIP, renowned for its great cocktails.

Facilities Beach bar/restaurant Two top class beach restaurants, VIP Bar (excellent cocktails) and Le Tiki restaurant (great for lunches) are located in the centre of the beach. Water Sports Catamarans, water-skis, kayaks and pedal boats can be hired, and diving is available. "Le Pontoon" is a good centre for lessons in water-skiing and wakeboarding, and is supportive with beginners.

The main car park is adorned with pretty pink flowers in summer. Directions San Ciprianu is 15 km north of Porto-Vecchio (approximately a 10-minute drive). It is accessed by the D668 (or initially via the D468 then D668), off the main N198 (Bastia direction). A good, flat access road runs directly to the beach.
