Name: We came to this beach as we're staying in Cargèse. Depending on the weather, you can experience either rough waves or a picturesque beach with blue and green waters. We've experienced both and enjoyed them equally. The lifeguard service is always present, even during rough sea conditions, and they provide a safe swimming area by marking it with two blue flags along a 10-meter stretch of the coast. If you're nearby, it's definitely worth a visit.
