L'Ostriconi

Edit spot

About

Good shore break for bodyboarders even when it's small; when the waves begin to break 100m from the shore, it could be a nice spot, but it's depend on the sandbars at the rivermouth.

Atmosphere:
A beautiful bay, a sort of frontier.The beach is 15km from the city of l'île-Rousse, so it's in the middle of nowhere (except in July and August of course!): after the beach, you can visit 'the Agriates desert', there are also waves to ride.

Additional Info:
You can park on the road, this is now a parking!Then find the small trail and walk down to the beach.
