Der Strand von Ghisonaccia auf Korsika, ein langer Sandstreifen

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Corsica - Beach day in Ghisonaccia and octopus on the plancha

1 min read

Sunday 3 May 2026, a lazy day by the water. Ghisonaccia beach stretches for miles of sand, with the sea on one side and the mountains behind. In the morning there’s no doubt about where we’re having lunch.

Catch of the day and squid at Ghiso Beach

Ghiso Beach sits right on the sand. We order the catch of the day, then squid, with the sea a few metres away. Simple, fresh, and exactly what you come to Corsica for.

A Moselle man’s Maggi and the evening octopus

A small confession: when you’re from Moselle, you take your Maggi everywhere, even to Corsica. For dinner we cook octopus tentacles on the plancha ourselves, just seared: pre-cooked, then olive oil, oregano and garlic. Delicious.

Practical info

  • Ghisonaccia beach: a long sandy beach, easy access and car parks.
  • Ghiso Beach: beach restaurant in Ghisonaccia, catch of the day depending on supply.
  • Octopus on the plancha: pre-cook it so it stays tender, then sear it quickly.
