Shortly after the fountain, enter the area of ​​the Natural Park and follow the path with significant elevation and mixed terrain: sand, rock and gravel.

8.  Diving

Diving in Corsica is an exceptional way of enjoying the Mediterranean, with the promise of discovering UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Want a dive idea? A 53m long cargo ship was torpedoed during the Second World War off Cervioni – and the wreck now sits on the sand 33m deep. A true oasis in the middle of this large stretch of sand, it shelters many marine species.
