Riva Bella beach

The beach Riva Bella in Linguizzetta is located south of “La marine de Bravone”. The beach is characterized by being partly a nudist beach, the one close to the facilities and the center.

The beach, however, is not dedicated to naturists, it extends to the pond of Diane, and here you can come with your dog to the beach, the perfect opportunity to enjoy a good dish of the Corsican culinary tradition in one of the many characteristic restaurants along the beach.

Carataggio beach

Located near the beach of Palombaggia, the beach of Carataggio (or Cartaghju) is located in a magnificent nature reserve. This pristine place of fine sand is nicknamed “Tahiti Beach”. A little crowded place and for this reason also the beach of Tahiti is a privileged destination for nudists who find the right privacy here.

At the edge of the beach is born undisturbed and lush wilderness, including a small pond surrounded by reeds. The environment is very pleasant and the beach is little known to the crowds of holiday makers.

The ideal place for those who love to spend moments in total relaxation and entertainment in the company of their dog.

Nearby there are numerous amenities including free parking and several restaurants where you can enjoy excellent dishes and make a pleasant stop. Access to Tahiti Beach is possible from the road leading to Palombaggia (Piccovaggia Street).

Ostriconi beach

The Ostriconi beach in Corsica is located north of Calvi, at the beginning of the Agriate Desert in Lieu-dit Ostriconi, 20226 Palasca. It is about 700 meters long and is one of the most unspoilt beaches in Corsica. Behind it flows the Ostriconi river.

This beach is guarded in summer and on days of rough sea, it is strongly not advisable to swim because of the strong currents that push offshore. In addition to spending unique moments with your dog, you can also engage in various activities including kitesurfing or snorkeling.
