Tarco Beach Guide

The cove of Tarco (Anse de Tarco) is located a 45-minute drive north of Porto-Vecchio, on the Cote des Nacres coastline, directly north of the pretty beach of Fautea.

Although attractive and relatively crowd-free, Tarco does lack some of the dazzling charm and beauty of other beaches closer to Porto-Vecchio.

Beach Description

Tarco beach has fine white sand (600 m), aquamarine sea and two green headlands. The N198 main coast road runs directly behind the beach for its entire length.


				Tarco is satisfactory for swimming and sunbathing, and there are some good snorkelling opportunities around the southern headland by the areas of reef.
