Gradelle Beach

Pebble shore inside the protected reserve on the Gulf of Porto, backed by maquis and looking out towards the Calanques de Piana. A campsite above provides the parking and the short walk down. The Santa Maria restaurant on the shore does drinks and seafood, and kayaks can be hired for the coast either side.
