Plage de l'Ostriconi

Drop anchor off this wild, unspoiled stretch of Corsican coastline, about 15km east of L'Île-Rousse, where a 700m sweep of white sand meets crystal-clear water ideal for snorkelling. Getting here feels like a small adventure — you'll wade ashore and follow a 15-minute path through the maquis scrub to reach the beach, which sits right on the edge of the protected Désert des Agriates. No development, no crowds — just raw Corsican nature at its best.
