Very beautiful bathing bays, which were unfortunately littered with algae in October 2021.

The inconspicuous rocks provided us with a shady place to rest and cool off with crystal clear water during the hike from Saint Florent to Plage du Loto.
With a little climbing action you reach a hollowed out rock at the bottom where you can chill out in peace, undetected by other hikers 👍💯

Mortella Point

Highlight • Other

Unfortunately only half of the old tower is still standing, it is still very nice to look at. The tower was built to defend the coast of the Republic of Genoa in the years 1563/64. In 1794 two British warships unsuccessfully attacked the tower of Mortella, but was eventually taken over by British land forces from inland. The British were so impressed by the effectiveness of the tower that they copied its construction several times and wrongly called the construction "Martello", not "Mortella". When the British withdrew from Corsica in 1796, they blew up the tower.

Tour de la Mortella

Highlight • Monument

Tour Mortella. You should bring enough drink with you on this tour. I can only recommend bathing shoes, as you have to wade through the sea at one point or another. You should also take the lighthouse behind the Genoese tower with you. Very nice tour.

Arinella de Fiume Santu Beach

Highlight • Beach

About 1.5 hours away from St. Florent is one of the most beautiful beaches in the region, the Arinella de Fiume Santu. On the way to Mortella Tower, you cross this beach and at the end you have to wade a few meters through the water to continue the tour.
