Near Calvi, this is a small, secluded Corsican beach and mentioned by several non locals as one of the prettiest in the Med. Surrounded by pine trees, it slips under the radar of the beach loving crowds, but it has all the mod cons, including a charming restaurant right on the front.

The climate is closer to Italy than France, the food and culture closer to mainland France but the location is slap bang in between, a diamond along Corica’s 600 miles worth of beach-y coastline.
