NM at NE of "l'Ile Rousse", this cove, named also Porajola or Parajola, is bordered by a beautiful beach S from a tower genoese and a white cliff.
The shelter is good by SE winds, but exposed to those of West. A river flows south from the beach and creates extended half-swamp behind the sand barrier.
Here we are at the southern and quiet limit of the desert Agriates. The road N1197 provides flow of swimers on the beach at Ostriconi bottom of loop.
