Corsica is laced with incredible beaches and Cala d’Orzo captures a thousand reasons more to fall in love with this golden turquoise coastline. By road, it's a bumpy dirt track leading to paradise but by yacht - it’s a feast for the eyes as the craggy cliffs and lagoon-like waters are laid out before you. As it’s a wild and remote place that’s hard to find, you can claim this Corsican dream as your own. The sandy stretch reaches all the way from Capo Nero to Capo di Muro and provides the perfect locale for sandy toes, welcoming swims, kayaking, and snorkelling in the shallows.
Wedged between the rocky outcrop of Pointe de Murtoli and the captivating cove of Roccapina, Erbaju beach is total tranquillity. Wild and remote, this swathe of golden sands and sapphire seas feels like the end of the earth. Located below Sartène on Corsica's south coast, the beach is overlooked by a Genoese tower which can be accessed by any keen hiker. After a scenic climb between pines and stone, adventurers will be rewarded with stunning panoramas of the ocean and views out to Sardinia. A truly beautiful spot for bathing, basking, sunbathing and snorkelling, Erbaju is within easy reach of bustling Bonifacio, with its ancient citadel and dramatic cliffs.
On stunning white, limestone cliffs at the south end of Corsica lies the spectacular harbour town of Bonifacio. The old citadel, perched on the precipice, rises high above the sea, overlooking the natural harbour below, that has sheltered many boats of the centuries and is now a modern marina.

Some of the medieval townhouses that dominate these cliffs are a few stories high, but only one room deep. Worth a visit is the beautiful maritime cemetery and the old convent of St Francois. On a clear day, from the Esplanade St Francois, you can see right across the bay to Sardinia.
Attracting luxury yachts from around the world, Propriano is home to a vibrant harbour, amazing restaurants and stunning scenery.
