Hello friends!
I hope you're all well.
While sorting through my photos, I came across some pictures of a walk I took on vacation in Corsica in June 2024. And I thought I'd share a bit of these wonderful landscapes with you.
With 2 friends and @genesisledger, we took a walk to the Pointe de la Parata, near Ajaccio, Corsica. It's a family walk lasting around 2 hours 20 minutes.
Here are the details of the walk:
- duration: 2h20
- distance: 6.59 km
- vertical drop: 159m
- vertical drop: 159m
This is a hike we found on visorando.com, here's the link: https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-la-plage-terre-sacree-et-la-pointe-de-la/
We parked at the Terre Sacrée beach parking lot, then walked for a few minutes before reaching the start of the hike.
The path is well-maintained and follows the coastline. There's a beautiful view:
The weather wasn't great that day, there was no sun, but it was really hot. The weather was humid, probably due to the Sahara wind.
After a few minutes' walk, we began to catch sight of the Îles Sanguinaires.
The start of the walk is quite shady. The path winds through the forest.
And after 1 hour's walk, we reach the concrete path where there's a parking lot (and which allows a shorter version of our walk).
We're gradually approaching the Pointe de la Parata (where the Genoese tower stands).
I'll leave you to admire the view from the path: turquoise water, boats, wild coastline :
We even saw a bird of prey hunting:
And here are the Îles Sanguinaires from the pointe de la Parata:
We enjoyed the view for a few moments, then we started the return. In fact, for the return, we chose to make a loop and come back by road.
We saw superb coves, small hidden beaches with transparent water. It was very, very exotic and made us want to go swimming. But we didn't take a towel or a swimsuit.
So, we continued walking. But we had a few short breaks to hydrate and get some shade, because it was very hot.
We came across this funny caterpillar:
And these two little birds:
Then, we slowly got back to the car.
And since we deserved a nice little break, we put on our swimsuits (which were in the car) and we enjoyed Terre Sacrée beach a little.
I don't have a photo, but it was a very nice beach (but small and crowded) with white sand and turquoise water. The water was so warm that it felt like we were taking a bath.
In short, a nice little walk to discover the Sanguinaires Islands. By the way, we chose to go for a walk to see, but you should know that it is also possible to take a boat trip around the islands.
I hope this post will have made you travel and discover the wonderful landscapes that Corsica has to offer. 😊
See you soon,
Johanna

Hello les amis !
J’espère que vous allez tous très bien.
En faisant un tri dans mes photos, je suis retombé sur les photos d’une balade que j’ai faite lors de mes vacances en Corse en juin 2024. Et je me suis dit que j’allais vous faire partager un peu de ces merveilleux paysages.
Avec 2 amis et @genesisledger, nous avons fait une balade pour rejoindre la pointe de la Parata, près d’Ajaccio, en Corse. C’est une balade familiale qui dure environ 2h20.
Voici les détails de la balade :
- durée : 2h20
- distance : 6,59 km
- dénivelé positif : 159m
- dénivelé négatif : 159m
C’est une balade / randonnée, que nous avons trouvée sur visorando.com, voici le lien : https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-la-plage-terre-sacree-et-la-pointe-de-la/
Nous nous sommes garés sur le parking de la plage Terre Sacrée, puis on a marché quelques minutes avant de rejoindre le début de la balade.
Le sentier est bien entretenu, il longe le littoral. Il y a une très belle vue :
Il ne faisait pas très beau ce jour-là, mais il faisait vraiment très chaud. Le temps était humide, sûrement à cause du vent du Sahara.
Au bout de quelques minutes de marche, nous avons commencé à apercevoir les Îles Sanguinaires.
Le début de la balade est assez ombragé. Le sentier serpente dans la forêt.
Et après 1h de marche, nous rejoignons le sentier bétonné où il y a un parking (et qui permet une version courte de notre balade).
On se rapproche petit à petit de la pointe de la Parata (où il y a la tour génoise).
Je vous laisse un peu admirer la vue que l’on a depuis le sentier : eau turquoise, bateaux, côte sauvage :
Nous avons même vu un rapace en pleine chasse :
Et voici les Îles Sanguinaires depuis la pointe de la Parata :
Nous avons profité quelques instants de la vue, puis nous avons entamé le retour. D’ailleurs pour le retour, nous avons choisi de faire une boucle et de revenir par la route.
Nous avons vu de superbes criques, des petites plages cachées avec de l'eau transparente. C’était très très dépaysant et ça donnait très envie de se baigner. Mais nous n’avions pas pris de serviette, ni de maillot de bain.
Alors, nous avons continué de marcher. Mais nous avons quelques petites pauses pour s’hydrater et se mettre à l’ombre, car il faisait très chaud.
Nous avons croisé cette drôle de chenille :
Et ces deux petits oiseaux :
Puis, nous avons rejoint ensuite doucement la voiture.
Et comme nous avons bien mérité une petite pause sympathique, on a enfilé nos maillots de bain (qui étaient dans la voiture) et nous avons un peu profité de la plage Terre Sacrée.
Je n’ai pas de photo, mais c’était une plage très sympa (mais petit et bondé) avec du sable blanc et de l’eau turquoise. L’eau était si chaude qu’on avait l’impression de prendre un bain.
Bref, une bonne petite balade sympathique pour découvrir les Îles Sanguinaires. D’ailleurs, nous avons choisi de faire une balade à pied pour voir, mais sachez qu’il est également possible de faire une excursion en bateau autour des îles.
J’espère que ce post vous aura fait voyager et découvrir les merveilleux paysages qu’offre la Corse. 😊
À très bientôt,
Johanna
