Between the sea and the mountains, the Gulf of Sagone is a perfect base to discover the west of Corsica. Here are our ideas for occupying your days, from lazing on the sand to excursions further afield.
Enjoy the beaches
This is the first pleasure of the gulf: from Sagone to Cargèse, via Liamone and Tiuccia, the sandy beaches follow one another for a few kilometres. Enough to change corners every day according to the mood and the wind.
Setting sail
Don't leave the area without a sea trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve and the village of Girolata, which can only be reached by boat. Several departures are offered from the gulf: this is the must-do excursion of a stay here.
Discover the villages
A few minutes away, Cargèse and its two Greek and Latin churches facing each other, the port and its atmosphere. In the hinterland, Vico and its hilltop villages offer freshness and authenticity, far from the crowds of the coast.
Backcountry Hiking
As soon as you climb a little, Corsica reveals its forests and rivers. The Aïtone forest, its tall laricio pines and natural pools are worth a visit for a cool day.
Corsican markets and products
Charcuterie, cheeses, honey, jams, West Coast wines: fill up on flavours at the markets and at the producers in the area. in Tiuccia
The sunset
On this west-facing coast, the spectacle is daily: the sun plunges straight into the sea. A simple aperitif facing the gulf, and the day ends in style.
