Best months: June, July, August
Access description: by Car - Take the road N196 from Bonifacio to Sartene. After some 10km's there's a sign on the left side of the road with some windsurfers on it. Go left here and after a few 100m's take a left again. When you get to the first bay there's a small sand road straight ahead. Keep going on this until you get to bay with a small wood shack at the end of it.
Specific rules: Zones, Time
Extra: During summer there's a kitesurfing restriction, however if you talk to the local kitesurfing school at the end of the beach (by foot around the edge that closes the bay, and try to get access to the water without too many rocks) you should be able to launch. After 20h, no motorized vehicles are allowed on the parking.
Nightlife: Lots of restaurants and bars in Bonifacio. Not much life during low season.
