The beach stretches on the coast of the Corsica island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

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 perfect for families with young children as the water is shallow. There are some rocks in the middle of the beach, which offer decent snorkeling opportunities. However, the water is slightly murky, and unfortunately, there was a dead fish on the beach emitting a foul smell."

"I camped at this beach in October 1990 and had the place all to myself for five days. It was an amazing experience with perfect weather."
