The lido scout was on tour again and this time i scouted for les plages in france. I went to…read morecorse/calvi already 4 times but this year, really started to scout other beaches beside the beach directly next to the town. It is a nice beach near the town but Plage de Spano is a dream. It's great to snorkel between the rocks and relax. Only few people are there as it's a bit hidden. Therefore there is not really any service or something to buy food. It's hard to rate beautiful beaches as they are all really beautiful. As i found one that is better i give this only 4 stars.

You ever have one of those moments where you choose option A, then check out option B and say dang!…read moreI knew I should've gone with the other choice! Well, I am here to help you make the right decisions in life. The beach on the other side, Plage de Bodri, is just as beautiful. In fact, they are pretty much the same. Land and rocks jutting out into the sea are all that separate this stretch of coastline. If you have a kayak, it would be easy to get around. On the off-chance you're an Olympic ocean swimmer, it should be a piece of cake! For those who play it safe, a short walk from one beach to the other is a mere 10 minutes. This is the spot you end up at for one cocktail on the beach, then end up staying at ALL DAY! It embodies what you see in the movies; the beach, the cocktail, the waves, the beautiful people, the style, and character! Yes. All of that is here. Even the bathroom has a coolness to it, you'd want to incorporate in your own beachside getaway. If you had one. At the bar, grab the massive skeleton key that looks as if it were used for to secure a dungeon somewhere way back when to unlock the bathroom. There's no dungeon here though. Enter an open air restroom where instead of flushing, you cover the TP and your gifts with wood shavings. It's pretty unique, you have to see it. Also available not too far away is a shower, which for a minimal fee can be used to was the salty water away. Furniture and structure are built to blend in with nature. All day parking is available for €2 about 150 yards from the beach. If you are staying in L'Île Rousse the coastal train stops at several beaches in the area. Grab a map at the Tourism office in town. Cocktail prices are reasonable. I believe the most expensive item was a charcuterie assortment at €12. Fair play! Staff is chill and friendly. If I am ever back in Corsica, it is a must that I return here!

This is the first beach we stopped at on our kayaking trip in Ajaccio, Corsica. What stood out was…read morethe barbarian fortress near the beach. Nice beach. Not too many people. No commercial area nearby. We parked the kayaks and hung out by the beach with Remy from Corsica Outdoor. Then we went to Trottel Beach with the kayaks.

The Beach close to Calvi is loooong and offers plenty of little bars and restaurants attached to…read moreit. It also has most of the attractions like wake boards, banana rides etc. that you usually have at a tourist beach. In this category it's still nice as it's quite relaxed still, at least in end of may where i've been there. Although i heard you shouldn't go there during nights as it is supposed to be a bit dangerous with drug dealers, i still really like to hangout there. Look at Calvi and the Ships going in and out of the Harbor. It has beautiful sand and the access is very slow you can take children and let them play near the beach in the water. During the week the legion etranger is flying past the beach and drops parachutists all day where one can watch. It's a nice spectacle while lying lazy in the sun ;).
