Coastal trail with a view of Girolata harbor

Highlight • Trail

Wonderful narrow hiking trail along the rocky coast. Without hiking shoes we would not have liked to walk along here with our children.

The Gulf of Girolata in Corsica is a miniature replica of the Gulf of Porto, located right next door. It is bordered by very large red cliffs of more than 300 meters, like those of Punta Rosa, and surrounded by maquis.
The gulf has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983.

We left to go to Tuara beach passing by
Path below, once we arrived we left for Girolata along the Mari e Monti path (very
Challenging) , looped back with Guy Le Facteur's coastal path. It takes good training, some exposed points. I recommend a light backpack and plenty of water.

A demanding hike with a significant elevation gain, but the Gulf of Girolatta is the reward... it's magnificent

I recommend leaving very early if you are going in midsummer. We were almost too late at 9:15 a.m. Water requirement per person: calculate 3 liters to be on the safe side! The spring saved us on the way back. 😅

On the hike, the coastal path should be chosen as the way to Girolata. During the hike, you have a beautiful view of Girolata, the sun at your back and perfect light for taking photos.
On the way back, you should plan some time for a refreshing dip in the sea

Very nice little place with 8 inhabitants and lots of tourism.

Hike to Girolata, a coastal town accessible only on foot or by boat.

The hike takes you up and down through dense, shady maquis, always along the coast with beautiful views.

An easy-going trail with wild pigs and cows relaxing in the sun along the side of the path.

Suitable for dogs.

Today we hiked along the old postal route from the Col de la Croix to the fishing village of Girolata, 🐟🦐🪼 which can only be reached on foot or by boat. The way back was originally supposed to be via the coastal path but this tour was literally canceled due to rain and thunderstorms. ⛈️ We went back to Porto …
