Corsican beach included in The Guardian’s “Top 10 beaches in France" feature

24 March 2011

Porto Pollo in southern Corsica has been selected as one of the top 10 beaches in France in a feature in today’s Guardian. Jacqueline Mirtelli of the France Tourism Development Agency recommended the beach and says:

“As a native of the French Riviera, I am very keen on the sea. For me, Corsica is a true paradise for beaches and it's only a two-hour flight from London or Manchester. Between Propriano and Bonifacio in sunny southern Corsica is Porto-Pollo beach, a long white arch of sand in a bay sheltered by green hills. I have been lucky to go to the Seychelles and Mauritius and it's like that – OK, a little bit less wild! Snorkelling is a must as the water is crystal clear and filled with fish.”
