Great coastal walking with lots of possibilites, from a short stroll to a long day hike, coastal walking to please all !
La Testa to Ventilegne, Figari
An easy going flat walk along the south western coast of the island, with surprising landscapes. La Testa is an unspoilt area full of wild beaches, protected by the Conservatoire du Littorale. You will see traces of the pastoral history of the area and take your binoculars if you are a twitcher.
Capu Rumanilu & Capu Pertusato, Bonifacio
Easy cliff walk towards the lighthouse at PERTUSATO with magnificent views of BONIFACIO, the cliffs and Sardinia across the water. This walk can be adapted from an easy stroll to a more challenging hike. Great at any time of year.
La Trinité to Fenu, Bonifacio
A good loop walk around a wild stretch of coast, you’ll enjoy this walk for the good views and the sense of away from it all just a short hop from the bustle of Bonifacio.
Sentier des Douaniers, Lodu to Saleccia
Lodu and Saleccia, who needs the Seychelles…? The Desert des Agriates stretches from Saint Florent in the North, to Ostriconi. The area is arid, with low maquis, that meets the coast at some of the most paradisiac beaches on the island. You can catch a boat (MAY TO SEPT) to the beach at LODU,
Sentier des Douaniers, St Florent to Lodu
Another great coastal walk, take care in hot weather as there is little shade. The tower at Mortella was partially destroyed by a bombardement by the British fleet. So impressed by the structure, Nelson suggested the building of MORTELLLO towers on the south coast of England.
Sentier des Douaniers, Maccinaggio
Follow the Customs officers path or ‘chemin des douaniers’ around the remote Cap Corse, along which you pass naturally preserved beaches and abandoned watchtowers witness to the battles that were fought for this island. The walking is captivating through a wild and natural landscape, and you can catch a boat (MAY TO SEPT) at end of the day to MACCINAGGIO.
Tour d’Olmeto to Roccapina, Monacia d’Aullène / Sartene
An easy coastal stroll. After the short walk to the Olmeto tower, which is well trodden, the rest of this coastal walk is quiet and the beaches untouched.
Tour de Roccapina to Erbaju, Sartene
A lovely coastal walk through lush maquis to the tower at ROCCAPINA and the beach at ERBAJU.
Col de la Croix to Bussaghia, Osani / Porto
This is quite simply a fabulous, relatively secret (ssshhh) coastal walk along the GOLFE DE PORTO. You have to keep your eyes on the terrain, which is sometimes steep sea cliffs – not ideal for those with vertigo, but the views are sublime out over the Golfe.
Le Chemin du Facteur, Osani
A classic coastal walk into the remote seaside hamlet of GIROLATA. Very popular with walkers, it is in all the guidebooks and it is best to avoid this one in high season. It is a hot walk, but can be shortened by taking the boat out of GIROLATA instead.
