Attractions and Places To See around Luri - Top 20

The path is one of Corsica's most famous coastal hiking trails and is ideal for combining hiking, sunbathing, and swimming. The hiking route is about 26 km long, starts from Maciaggio and runs around the northern tip of Cap Corse. Always a bit up and down, endurance is required when it's hot. Individual stages are also suitable for children - from Macinaggio to the Genoese tower Santa Maria and the chapel of the same name. This path can also be completed without hiking experience. The section leads to Tamarone beach, where there is a beach restaurant. At the northern end of the beach, the customs officers' path continues and runs along the coast to Plage des Iles with a great view of the Iles de Finocchiarola, three small offshore islets. The hiking trail then continues through the scrub to the Genoese tower Santa-Maria and a lovely small bay.

Tamarone Beach is located on the east coast of Corsica near Macinaggio (municipality of Rogliano) and is considered one of the most beautiful, quiet beach destinations in Cap Corse. 🌊 Brief description: Nature & surroundings: Approximately 500 meters of fine sandy beach, framed by Mediterranean scrubland (maquis), pebble and rocky coves. The vegetation appears wild and untouched. Water & marine life: Crystal-clear turquoise water with good visibility – ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or sports activities such as paddleboarding and kitesurfing. Access: Accessible via a 2.5 km unpaved road by car or on foot via the "Sentier des Douaniers" (Customs Path) – accordingly, it is rather quiet and unspoiled. Services & infrastructure: Parking available, seasonal paillote (beach café) nearby. Several smaller, quieter coves are located nearby. Posidonia seagrass grows in places on the sand. In a nutshell: Tamarone is a protected sandy beach with fine sand and crystal-clear water, nestled in a wild coastal landscape. It impresses with its tranquil atmosphere and its direct location on the historic coastal path – perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the unspoiled nature and the sea.

Cute village with good bakery

Superb little village of Nonza with its view of the sea, the large black sand beach and the houses with colorful facades. Stop at the Café de la Tour for lunch, the terrace, the plates and the boss are tip top.

From the beach of Tamarone starts a beautiful excursion that runs along the coast, with the possibility of stops in beautiful beaches.

old abandoned houses bear witness to earlier life and work

We stayed in a holiday home in Pietracorbara last week and went to these pools several times. Very beautiful. I can highly recommend climbing up the mountain to the right of the river. Also a nice climbing tour for children. Here you can discover a river valley completely lined with old stone walls. There are several old, partially collapsed houses, what appears to be an old mill and many other indications that intensive agriculture used to be practiced here, as in the whole of Cap Corse. In one place there is still an old peach tree with fruit. The Gumpe can also be easily reached from Cortina above Pietracorbara via the yellow hiking trail.
