Holiday In Beach

It was here, on this infamously clothing optional beach that Brigitte Bardot put St. Tropez on the map while filming ‘And God Created Woman’ wearing an itsy bitsy bikini.

Still a favourite with the shining stars of the film community if you do choose to wear a bathing suit make sure it’s the most daring of cuts, for most people jewellery and a triangle of cloth smaller than a folded handkerchief suffice.

For family folks there are some less racy options just along the coast, just don’t bother turning up without a hotel booking.

Arguably the best beach in Corsica, and referred to by some as the best in France, Saleccia is only accessible by boat from Saint-Florent, so it’s relatively peaceful even in high season. It’s simple and pristine, and lies below the Desert des Agriates – a stretch of sparse, tree and cactus-dotted scrubland.
