Tamarone Beach is located on the east coast of Corsica near Macinaggio (municipality of Rogliano) and is considered one of the most beautiful, quiet beach destinations in Cap Corse. 🌊 Brief description: Nature & surroundings: Approximately 500 meters of fine sandy beach, framed by Mediterranean scrubland (maquis), pebble and rocky coves. The vegetation appears wild and untouched. Water & marine life: Crystal-clear turquoise water with good visibility – ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or sports activities such as paddleboarding and kitesurfing. Access: Accessible via a 2.5 km unpaved road by car or on foot via the "Sentier des Douaniers" (Customs Path) – accordingly, it is rather quiet and unspoiled. Services & infrastructure: Parking available, seasonal paillote (beach café) nearby. Several smaller, quieter coves are located nearby. Posidonia seagrass grows in places on the sand. In a nutshell: Tamarone is a protected sandy beach with fine sand and crystal-clear water, nestled in a wild coastal landscape. It impresses with its tranquil atmosphere and its direct location on the historic coastal path – perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the unspoiled nature and the sea.

The beach of Nonza is an absolute highlight due to its special coloring. It can be reached via a steep descent. Alternatively, it is possible to climb to the watchtower in Nonza and enjoy a fantastic view of the beach.

Dominating Cap Corse, Monte Stello is the second highest peak in the Cap, at 1,306 meters. Apart from its neighbour, the Cima di e Follicie (1,324m), you won't find a better vantage point to enjoy the view of Cap Corse and the Mediterranean Sea.

We stayed in a holiday home in Pietracorbara last week and went to these pools several times. Very beautiful. I can highly recommend climbing up the mountain to the right of the river. Also a nice climbing tour for children. Here you can discover a river valley completely lined with old stone walls. There are several old, partially collapsed houses, what appears to be an old mill and many other indications that intensive agriculture used to be practiced here, as in the whole of Cap Corse. In one place there is still an old peach tree with fruit. The Gumpe can also be easily reached from Cortina above Pietracorbara via the yellow hiking trail.
