Day 3 - L'Arinella Beach - Bastia (Corsica)
L'Arinella Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. The water is crystal clear, calm and warm, but the main attraction of the beach is that it is never crowded.

Bastia's gracious Italianate buildings were created to house the administrative offices of the capital of Haute Corse.
