Plage de Pinareddu

Drop anchor off this wild, pebbly cove on Corsica's southern coast and you've got crystal-clear turquoise water perfect for snorkeling right off the boat. It stays quiet and uncrowded, sitting well away from any town, and the gently sloping sandy-pebble bottom makes getting in and out of the water easy. Just around the headland, the pretty bay of Pinarello has white-sand beaches framed by shady pine trees if you want to explore ashore.
