Plage de Porto-Novo

A rewarding find tucked at the back of the Gulf of Porto-Novo, this 350-metre sandy beach is completely undeveloped — no shops, no restaurants, just raw Corsican coastline. You can reach it by anchoring off and swimming or rowing ashore, or there's a 30-minute trail from the road if anyone fancies a hike. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret, and the Porto Novo Trail nearby gets great reviews on AllTrails if you want to explore further.
