Ajaccio, Corsica - Beach or boat fun?

[CraigCruiser]

I did some searching in France port and some of the info is a little dated so I wanted to see if someone could help me out? We will be on a JAMED packed 7 day cruise from Rome to Barcelona and would like to relax in Ajaccio in May. Anybody have some advice on a lazy day at the beach, resort or boat? 

 

Thanks in advance!

We had a nice day at the beach.  A couple of photos.

We spent a nice easy beach day in Porticcio via the water taxi. Very easy to do and a really nice beach.

Ready for this.  Beach was free and we walked from the ship.

The water taxi was something like 8 euro each, round trip. I think it was just called Porticcio. You would see it when you exited the water taxi, as you exit onto a dock that adjoins the beach

At the top left of the page I've linked here is an "EN" you can select to translate to English. The ticket booth was near the vendor booths set up next to the harbor, and they were happy to direct you to the boat nearby.
