Turquoise waters and white beaches; you are not in Seychelles or Bali, you are in Corsica. It is really worth the visit and to spend at least a day there. Beach is easily accessible.
2. Plage de Palombaggia

Spectacular beach, right up there with the best in the world. Water colour is postcard-esque. Combination of trees, white sand, azure water and orange rocks is unique. Well worth a visit. Plan your parking beforehand (Google Maps useful). We were there on the shoulder of the summer season (mid Sept) and the crowds weren't bad at all although imagine it would get very busy in peak months.
3. Eglise de Saint Jean Baptiste

4.5 based on 97 reviews
Reviewed By Monkeyhumble - Amersham, United Kingdom
This local church comes in to its own during a wedding or christening. The floral decorations add something very special. The building is peaceful. The bell tower contains real bells i.e. not recorded bells, and they contribute to the charm of the building. Concerts take place here on some evenings and are well supported. Worth a visit.
4. Plage de Cala Rossa

Cala Rossa is a lovely sandy beach with clear water. The water gets deep quite quickly so it is best for good swimmers (there are other Beaches nearby where the water is shallower, and may be therefore better for small children). Parking is along the road and can be difficult, but it is a lovely spot for a late afternoon swim when parking is a little easier. There are a few bars and small restaurants along the beach.
5. Santa Giulia Beach

Well I went TO Santa Giulia
The beach itself is beautiful
Apart from the italian and German tourist
Behaving poorly, noisy, dogs and not taking their rubbish with them simply fantastic
The beach is note wide so you are all on the top of each other on bed you pay for
A great bar is available with waiter from the Eastern Europe staring at you because their french is limited and English is not an option
Overall noisy dirty and way to busy
But is not the town's fault
6. Plage de Saint-Cyprien

A rather grubby beach with unappealing-looking restaurants (but they may have been excellent!). We moved on hastily.
