Presentation

The Fautea Tower, perched some thirty metres high, overlooks two beaches. To the north, it offers a spectacular view of the east coast and overlooks the first beach, which is a lively spot with a restaurant, a campsite and water sports. This beach also has disabled access via a beach lift, making it easier for people with reduced mobility to enjoy a swim. To the south, a second, more natural beach marks the start of a walk along the customs path, which winds its way along the coast to Lavu Santu beach – a long stretch of sand 900 metres long (extending southwards to the mouth of the Cavu). Nicknamed ‘the Americans’ beach’, it was once the site of NATO military exercises.

These beaches are perfect for snorkelling, but Lavu Santu, with its steep drop-offs, is not recommended for children.

Access: after the village of Sainte-Lucie de Porto-Vecchio, continue along the RT10 towards Bastia.
When the Genoese tower appears on the right, park at the side of the road, go through the barrier leading to the beach and take the footpath.
After a few minutes, the path splits: turn left for the tower, or go straight on for the first beach. For Lavu Santu, follow the coastal path to the right (a 30-minute walk).

The Fautea site has been protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral since 1979.
