Beaches
Although you can bathe from the shingle beach at Erbalunga, why not head up the coast to Porticciolo for sand, it is rarely busy. If remote beaches are your thing then follow the chemin des douaniers from Maccinaggio port to plage des Iles before Barcaggio.
Take a boat
The Désert des Agriates is a landscape of wild maquis and rocky cliffs. Take a boat trip to one of its beaches, inaccessible by car, or rent a boat yourself to explore the hidden coastline around the town. Boats from the harbour will take you to the beaches of Saleccia and Lodo (3-6 departures a day and a 30 min trip). You can also get to these beaches on quad bikes (see activities section) that can be hired locally or for the more adventurous try kayaking.
Cake
The friendly owners make some guests welcome with a homemade cake, and other specialities.
