Palombaggia

Beach · Porto-Vecchio

@travelleisure

"Palombaggia is widely considered the most beautiful stretch of coastline on the French island of Corsica. Though it has caught on among beachgoers, it's still free of the shoulder-to-shoulder hordes you'll find on some of France's better-known beaches. Perfect for families, the gently sloping shelf is great for young swimmers who are content to splash in the shallows. Yards of visibility and abundant schools of fish will keep older kids busy snorkeling for hours." - Travel + Leisure Editors
