There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the St. Jean beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

User reviews
"The beach is truly magnificent and is situated above a stunning Genoese tower. However, it seems that the access to the beach is a bit challenging, which could be the reason why there aren't many visitors. Nevertheless, you have the option to take a long walk from the tower to the vast Saint Jean beach."
Lena RIVIERE
"This beach, located just a half hour away from Bonifacio, is delightfully uncrowded. The tamarisk trees that line the shore create natural shaded spots, thanks to their roots that extend into the water. You'll also find some rounded rocks jutting out of the water, perfect for snorkeling around. However, some visitors have noted that the water can be a bit brackish and warm."
