Le pain de sucre
Edit SpotAbout
A good spot to surf when the wave breaks on the sand bar 200m to the beach
A good bodyboard spot when it's a small gnarly shore break, and even a fun spot for bodysurfing, when the wave is so small but so beautiful, with a little perfect tube!
I like it!
Atmosphere:
It's a beautiful spot, in a very small bay, in front of the citadelle of Calvi. So even in summer, the beach can not be crowded.
The atmosphere is top at the morning, or at the sunset, with the beautiful light of the corsica island
Additional Info:
"Le pain de sucre" is the name of the good restaurant setting just on the beach. You find a parking near the beach or can park on the cliff to have a good view on the spot.
