The best times to visit Corsica as a family

For a family trip to Corsica, choosing the right time depends on your expectations. If your intention is to enjoy the beaches and the sun, the period between mid-May and mid-September is often recommended. However, avoid August to avoid the peak tourist season.

For those who prefer milder temperatures and wish to discover the island without the crowds, the months of May, June and September are best. In spring, the maquis is in full bloom, while in autumn, the landscape takes on orange hues.

If you're planning to go hiking, these periods are also ideal, as temperatures are not too high. Finally, note that the north of Corsica is generally a little drier and warmer than the south.
