Algajola
A small Genoese fortified village with a long golden sand beach in front, quieter than Calvi.
Algajola lies between Calvi and L'Île-Rousse. It is a small fishing village from the Genoese era, with city walls and a castle. The old town has only a few streets and can be walked in a few minutes. The beach in front is about 1.5 kilometres long, with fine sand and shallow water, making it one of Balagne's most family-friendly beaches. The walls make a lovely spot for watching the sunset in the evening. The Balagne tramway stops here, linking it with Calvi and L'Île-Rousse. Accommodation fills up quickly in summer.
