Plage d'Ostriconi, Remote beach in Balagne, France.

The Plage d'Ostriconi extends for 700 meters along the Bay of Peraiola, featuring white sand bordered by mountains and the Agriates desert.

The beach marks the beginning of the historical Customs Trail, which stretches across 40 kilometers of undeveloped Mediterranean coastline.

Local folklore tells of the Biscia, a formidable serpent that once lived in the swamps near Ostriconi and emerged at the sound of church bells.

Visitors must walk 15 minutes on a countryside path from the parking area, crossing the Ostriconi river to reach the beach without facilities.

Black sand sections intermingle with white sand stretches, while free-roaming cows occasionally rest near the beach area.
