Best Beach Yet

We're now on the road to the Plage de Palombaggia, generally considered to be Corsica's ultimate beach. It's probably only a mile or two from Santa Giulia as the crow flies but since it's part of a peninsula that bulges out from the coast we end up on a road for what seems like fifteen minutes climbing and descending past resorts and luxurious private beach homes. 

When we finally reach the beach area we pass the series of empty paid parking lots and find a spot within a 1 minute walk of the beach. Obviously in high season this beach is completely mobbed but the end of September is just nearing low season and apparently Sunday afternoon is also a quiet time for beach going. 

Well the guides were right. As nice as Santa Giulia was this beach is just that much better. There's much less wind so the water is as calm as I've ever seen it.  Even Dana is very impressed calling this one of the best beaches she's ever seen. 

We spend the next two hours alternating between the sun and the sand. Since Dana likes sunning herself I get the water 70% of the time.  It's a good deal for me. 

I'm not the biggest fan of beaches but I had to tear myself away from this one and if you can find me another one like Palombaggia (or its sibling from this morning) I'll be there.
