Day3 Southwest Corsica

Tour Overview: Corsica Motorcycle Tour – The Southwest

Where: Southwest Corsica
Route length: approx. 214 kilometers
Points of interest: Lively traffic in and around the towns; outside the towns, there is some tourist traffic during the high season—though by German standards, it remains very light.

Route Description
Today we continue south along the coastal road; our destination for this stage is Bonifacio.

Mit dem Motorrad durch die Bergwelt von Korsika

We begin by driving along the mountain route through the red cliffs; here, a little caution is required, as this narrow mountain road is not closed to truck traffic. The panorama here is magnificent, and there are frequent pull-offs where you can enjoy the view of these bizarre mountains and the sea stretching out below.

You drive through the Calanche, passing the rock formation shaped like a dog's head—the *Tête du Chien*. This stretch is a hallmark of Corsica; bizarre, orange-red rocks define the landscape here. Countless tourists attempt to find a parking spot—anywhere they can—to photograph these rock formations in the best possible light: the evening sun.

Mit dem Motorrad an den panorama Stränden von Korsika vorbei

A small road leads us back through the mountains toward the coast, where we then drive south, winding our way from bay to bay. The further south we travel, the larger the sandy beaches become. In September, these southern beaches are very sparsely visited. We continue once again through the mountains until we reach our destination for the day near Bonifacio.

The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, and the water is stunningly clear—perfect for snorkeling! The route leads to a turn-off where you can drive down to a white sandy beach—one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. Guarded by a weathered "lion" and a crumbling Genoese tower, you can enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear water in the morning, before the crowds arrive.
