Golfe de Saint-Florent (France)

A destination where mountain meets sea, the Gulf of Saint-Florent is not only home to the pretty town of Saint Florent, but also some superb scenery. Close to the Agriates Desert (which looks nothing like a desert), you'll find some amazing beaches.

Leaving from Saint Florent, you can hop a boat to the beach at Lotu. You can also get there by hiking for a few hours along a scenic, former customs trail. However you get there you'll be impressed by this exceptional, untouched beach. Vegetation, sand and a gorgeous sea - that's all anyone needs! I suggest you take along enough snacks and drinks, so that you can take your time whilst exploring the countryside. For me, this place a must during a trip to Corsica.
