Nice bit off the beaten path beach
Aug 2020 • Family
One of the top-x beaches in North Corsica. Easy parking on big lot, then 10-15 min walk through some woods and then reeds and a ponton bridge across a small river.
Beach is very nice, soft sand, although quite some kelp; mountains in background and aquamarine sea in front!
No facilities so bring umbrella, seats and water. Snorkeling possibilities near the rocks with quite some fish easily visible.

Nice beach, but many dry algae
Jun 2022
Nice sandy beach, with a big parking available at about 15 minutes walk. During sommer, the beach is watched. However, you should really bring a sunshade and water with you. You have the possibility to walk along the coast from here, which is really worth doing!
The biggest drawback was the huge amount of dry algae along the sea side...

Best beach in Corsica
Sep 2013 • Couples
Off the beaten track 6 km north of Ile Rousse, not easy to find. You need to park on the road and walk down about 1 mile to this beach. Sandals and shorts are a must as you need to cross a shallow river to access this beach, but it is well worth it. Miles of unspoilt untamed beach surrounded by mountains. Crystal clear blue water, warm in September. This was definately the best beach we found in Corsica.

Quiet beach, easy parking.
Jul 2018 • Family
Perhaps I’ve been spoilt by all of the stunning beaches we’ve found in Corsica, but this was one of our least favourite. On the plus side, there is plenty of parking, much of it shaded, thanks to the many trees in the car park. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk to the beach, wading through some shallow water along the way. The beach was almost empty, even on a Saturday in July. There are lifeguards on duty. We left early and there were a lot of people driving in and walking from the car park as we made our way back, so I’d imagine that afternoons were much more crowded. Come prepared; there are no facilities or shade. There’s lots of sea grass and sea weed, some small waves. The sand in the sea is a not as smooth as on some other beaches. A pleasant morning.

Amazing beach with limited number of tourists
Jul 2016 • Couples
Ostriconi Beach is located in northern part of Korsica, about 20 km east from L'Île-Rousse. As there is not a town near by, the beach is not crowded yet, but still relatively easy to access.
You can park your car around here 42.658537, 9.058729 and then follow foot path to the beach. It takes about 10 minutes and to get to beach you will have to cross a shallow river just before the beach. The beach is with white sand and little protection from wind and sun. There are not any amenities immediately on the beach so bring your own refreshments if you plan to stay longer.
Totally worth the trip.

OK beach
Jul 2019 • Couples
It's quite a walk down there, but the beach is neither spectacular not practical. View is nice, but no beach bar. Good for kids.

Family Beach Day
Aug 2018 • Family
Free Parking was easy to access and use. We went on a very hot day with two small children and hadn't realised the long walk down to the beach and back. . .Take lots and lots of water as the one place to purchase water is very expensive! The beach is beautiful but lots and lots of sea grass making it difficult for smaller children. The water was wavy, quickly deep and I wouldn't let my non swimmer to play without company. . . . The river which we walked through to access the beach was fun, for children to play in and safe! It was a long and hot walk back up to the car

Highly recommended beach
Jun 2015 • Family
Beautiful white sand beach with clear blue water and nice waves for teens and tweens. It is an easy 10 minute walk from the road, but to access the beach you have to cross the slow-moving Ostriconi river that empties into the ocean at one end of the beach. It comes up above your waist a little at the deepest (I am 6'2") and is maybe 25 meters across but don't let it scare you off, just be ready to carry your stuff above your head for a bit and you are there. The beach was not crowded at all on a Tuesday in late June, I imagine it gets more usage during July-September but the short walk and especially the river crossing probably keep the crowds at bay somewhat. There are some cross currents and a couple of minor rip tides (which will all shift and change over time)- nothing of major concern but something to keep an eye on. There are no services at all on the beach, although there is a cart selling drinks and snacks where the trail to the beach leaves the paved road. There is no shade on the beach, so bring an umbrella or canopy if you must have shade. Like anywhere in Corsica there are some topless bathers and some old folks who like to go totally nude but it is not pervasive. Also, since the beach does not seem to be maintained in any way, there is a good amount of aquatic vegetation washed up on the sand (along with a bit of debris and garbage) but we did not find it overwhelming or off-putting. We would definitely go back.

Nice beach Outside Town
Jun 2015 • Family
Beautiful beach with crystal clear blue water and white sand. Parking mostly on the side of the road leading to the path. Walk to the beach maybe 10 minutes, mild uphill on the way back. Reaching a beach involves wading through a lagune with water coming up to the waist of an average adult.

Worth the walk
Oct 2022 • Family
Great wide beach with wonderful shallow water. Ideal for families. No facilities and a 15 min walk.
Nice ice cream and cold drinks from a van on the walk back to the car park.
