Does anyone know what the weather is like at this time of year?
We will be spending the day here off of a ship. Any beaches?
Any tips you can give would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Weather should be reasonably warm and sunny, but of course there may be rain.
Ajaccio is a nice enough town to stroll round and there is a tourist train which tours the town. Lots of eating places. Napoleon is everywhere!!
It%26#39;s hardly typical of the real Corsica, and if your ship runs a trip to then Prunelli gorges I heartily recommend that to you

Just came back from 2 weeks in Corsica. Temperature was great between 22 and 26 egrees Celcius. If you look for a beach in Ajaccio and you don%26#39;t have a car (suspect as you are probably on a cruise) There is a beach not too far from the Cruise terminal. Take direction of %26quot;Iles Sanguinaires%26quot;. Already alongside the Boulevard Albert 1 you have a beach.
In case you have a car there are plenty alongside the coast south of Ajaccio.

Thanks for you info.

If you have a full day and if you are reasonably confident drivers then yes. Ajaccio is pretty limited - there%26#39;s a bit of local history, a lot of milking of the Napoleon connection and some nice beaches almost within walking distance. But if I%26#39;d been drifting on a boat for days I%26#39;d want to get out and do more than potter.
I%26#39;d head north to Cargese, Piana and Porto. It%26#39;s around 75 miles to the North. The scenery is magnificent both inland and along the coast which is very reminiscent of Highway 1 up around Big Sur to Monterey. Multimap says it would take you 1hr 40m, but it would be a deal longer because you%26#39;d have to keep stopping for the driver to really take in the views he%26#39;s missing because he has to keep his eyes on the road.
But, if your driving experience is just cruising the freeways of CA in an over-sized automatic, the narrower roads with a stick-shift in a European compact might be a bit of a culture-shock!

I really liked Vergio beach south of Ajaccio. This beach has white sand and is very pleasant. You need a car to get there though.
Best beaches are on the South-Eastern part of the island though.
