Facilities & Access
📍 Getting There
🚶Short walk to the beach
Take the road from Bonifacio to Porto Vecchio. Half way, where the road is straight over a long distance you have to take a sandy road to the right (very bad road, 2km). There is a shield to point to the beach and a beach restaurant. It's in the Golfo de Santa Manza, at the West side of the Golf. Drive all the way up to the point where most surfers are. Not much space for parking.
