Water Temperature in Corsica: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
Original name of the region: Korsika
Corsica, often called the Island of Beauty, is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, offering stunning coastal waters and numerous rivers. Along the island's beaches, such as those near Calvi, Porto-Vecchio, and Ajaccio, seawater temperatures in summer range from 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C), making them ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Even in autumn, the sea remains inviting, with temperatures staying around 70°F to 75°F (21°C to 24°C). In winter, the Mediterranean cools, averaging 57°F to 61°F (14°C to 16°C), though some visitors still enjoy water sports during this period.
Corsica’s rivers, like the Restonica and Tavignano, offer a different aquatic experience. These rivers are fed by mountain streams, making their waters much cooler. In the summer, river temperatures usually range from 59°F to 68°F (15°C to 20°C), providing a refreshing escape from the island’s heat. Natural rock pools and waterfalls along the rivers are especially popular for swimming and relaxation, with their pristine, clear waters surrounded by lush landscapes.
During the colder months, river temperatures drop significantly, often falling to 41°F to 50°F (5°C to 10°C), especially in the island’s mountainous interior. While too cold for swimming, these rivers remain a highlight for hikers and nature enthusiasts exploring Corsica’s rugged terrain and picturesque scenery. The contrast between the warm coastal waters and the cool, fresh rivers creates a diverse and dynamic water environment unique to this Mediterranean island.
