Beach hopping

We left Bonifacio at around 10 in the morning with our next hotel only around 20km away in the seaside town of Porto Vecchio. Doesn't seem like it should take awhile to make the trip, does it?

Yet, between Bonifacio and Porto Vecchio lies a vast wasteland of red rocks, green trees, white sand and azure water that is ideal from distracting weary travelers from their routes and luring them, siren like, to a nearby chaise lounge.

I'm not sure how Corsica lucked out but this part of the island features a series of stunning beaches that rival the best beaches in the world. Even better, due to the fact that we are in low tourist season, the beaches are almost empty at this time of year. 

Our first stop is the very first beach we come across, Santa Giulia. It's just off the main roadway making it very accessible to anyone. 

It's a gorgeous protected cove with the most perfect warm blue water and soft white sand. There are no waves so you can just float there and absorb all the beauty surrounding you. I can even set my beach towel in a spot where there is shade from a nearby tree. 





The panorama photo really is the way to go for a beach like this. I've only just discovered that my new camera can even do this.
