You ever have one of those moments where you choose option A, then check out option B and say dang! I 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! read more
