Hiking

This magnificent coastal path begins with a bang. Starting from the Sanguinaires Islands car park, the path immediately reveals superb views of the coast and the small archipelago of Pointe de la Parata. As you move forward, you step back to admire the cape and its beautiful Genoese tower.

Little by little, you gain a few meters in height to reach the Rocher Saint-Antoine, a famous climbing site overlooking the Mediterranean. It forms a small pass which, when you cross it, takes you towards the beach of the same name.

The setting is idyllic for resting and swimming. After four kilometers of a gentle path, you have reached the end of the trail. The distance and difficulty being reasonable, you can return by the same route after enjoying the pleasures of the beach.

View of Pointe de la Parata and the Genoese Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint allows you to admire the tip of Parata, located at the end of the coastline near Ajaccio. Accessible by an easy path, this rocky promontory allows you to admire the contrast between the deep blue of the ocean and the Mediterranean vegetation. You can also see the Genoese tower overlooking the site. It is a particularly magical place at sunset, when the light sets the islands and cliffs ablaze.
