Desert de Agriats

With nearly 25 miles of coastline, this so-called desert is one of the longest stretches of protected nature in Europe. It’s wild, scrub-covered and studded with beautiful coves for swimming. Agriats can be reached on foot or 4-wheel drive, but the best way to explore is via boat, starting in Calvi, Saint Florent or L’Ile Rousse. You can go on hikes through the maquis, but most travelers just while the days away at one of the many beaches.
