Towns and Beaches
The towns of Calvi and L’Île Rousse are both on the coast and along the littoral between them there are twenty magnificent beaches to choose from. The resort of Algajola, with its old town and Medieval Château just a little to the east of Calvi, has a fine beach which seems to stretch for miles.
