  • Family-friendly site on a Tyrrhenian Sea beach at Moriani in Corsica
  • Bastia 50 minutes’ drive and Monte Calleruccio hiking 55 minutes
  • Swimming pool and watersports hub; restaurant, bar and basics store
Direct access to a gorgeous sandy beach. Spectacular backdrops of pine-clad mountains. A waterpark with slides, a paddling pool, a Jacuzzi and a heated swimming pool. If that’s what you’re looking for in your next family holiday, Camping Merendella, 10 minutes’ walk from the shops and restaurants of Moriani on Corsica, is the beachside hideaway for you. And there’s more on offer, of course. In need of some downtime? Slope off down to the beach to settle into a deckchair and soak up the Corsican sun. If more action is required, the site has a watersports centre with kayaks, pedal boats and underwater scooters for rent, and if that sounds too hardcore, put your feet up on sunset cruises bookable at the hub too. On-site facilities include a pétanque court, ping-pong tables and a gym, plus exercise sessions around the pool and several play areas for kids. There’s also a beachside restaurant (complete with gelateria and cocktail bar), where you can also source baguettes and pastries for breakfast between mid-June to mid-September (the rest of the year you’ll need to book this service the day before from reception). There’s also a small grocery store just opposite the entrance selling all the basics.

Local attractions

If you’re up for a spot of urban sightseeing, historic Bastia (50 minutes’ drive) is just the place; explore the winding alleys lined with pink-stone townhouses that lead up to the citadel, or admire Tyrrhenian Sea views from verdant Jardin Romieu. Check out the extravagant ceiling frescoes in Église Saint Jean-Baptiste, and when you’ve had enough of culture, head for Place St Nicolas for a restorative glass of wine or an espresso in a pavement café. Happy to witness Corsica’s natural beauty on foot? Hopefully you’ll spot pink flamingoes on family walks around the Étang de Chjurlinu-Biguglia (45 minutes), and for something a little more challenging, hiking areas like Monte Calleruccio (55 minutes) lead into arid mountain foothills. Walk up to Cascade Naturelle Bucatoghju from the site (50 minutes’ stroll) for a refreshing dip in the water below the waterfall. If the family is demanding more high-octane pursuits, you can organise canyoning, horse riding on the beach and snorkelling at Costa Verde Sports Nature et Découvertes (two minutes).
