From Campomoro to Campomoro via the coastal path

Starting from Campomoro, this circular hike is not difficult. Along the coast, rocky landscapes give way to coves and inlets. At Cala d'Aguglia (the southernmost point of the route), where calm reigns, it is worth taking a break to admire this cove that stretches inland and enjoy its beautiful beach. The return journey takes you inland through the scrubland, offering beautiful views of the coast and finally the Gulf of Propriano.

Description of the walk

Along the route, signposts on posts have been installed, making it easy to follow the path.

Leave your car in the heliport car park, which is the closest parking area to the end of the hike. Please note: paid parking in Campomoro is limited to 7 hours, with a €35 fine for exceeding the parking time limit.

(S/E) Head west along Rue Giacomo Alfonso, then along the seafront via Caselle for 1.2 km.

(1) At the T-junction, turn right (north-west) towards Torra di Campomoro via Calanova.

At the end of the left-hand bend, take the path on the right where a sign clearly indicates the start of the Campomoro to Sennetosa trail. At the T-junction immediately following, follow the path on the left and you will arrive at a three-way junction.

(3) Leave the path coming from Torra di Campomoro on your right and continue straight ahead on the same track. From here, the trail heads south and runs along the coast.

(4) Leave the path on the left that returns to the village of Campomoro and continue straight ahead, following the coastline where open grassy areas alternate with rocky passages.

(5) At a T-junction, leave the path on the left that leads to the village and continue straight ahead along the coast. The well-marked path then leads to Portu d'Aucia and Cala d'Aguglia, a pretty cove that cuts deep into the land with its beautiful, quiet beach.

(6) The trail resumes at the entrance to the beach and gradually climbs into the scrubland. Halfway up, look back for a panoramic view of Cala d'Aguglia and its beautiful turquoise colours.

(7) At the fork at the top of the climb, follow the main trail to the left (north-east), ignoring a small path on the right. From there, the path runs alongside the Vangone d'Aucia stream, alternating between scrubland and undergrowth. After crossing the stream (which is easy to do given its narrow width), turn immediately left. Pass a first track on the right, then a second on the left.

(8) Viewpoint.

(9) Viewpoint.

(10) On a descent at Canusellu, ignore the path leading off to the left and turn right onto the path leading down to a stream. Cross the wooden footbridge and turn left immediately.

(11) At the crossroads 50 metres after the wooden bridge, turn right, ignoring the two paths leading off to the left, and start the climb.

(12) At an X-shaped intersection, do not follow the hiking trail markers that point straight ahead, but take the route on the right for horse riders, which descends directly towards the village. At the bottom of the slope, join the road by passing through the gate on the right intended for walkers. After 100 metres, you will arrive at Rue Giacomo Alfonso. Follow this tarmac road on the right to the heliport car park, the end point of the hike (S/E).

Great hike. A few narrow passages with vegetation on the way back that scratch a little.
The only downside was that the parking meter at the start of Campomoro only allowed 7 hours of parking, resulting in a £35 fine for exceeding the time limit by 15 minutes... 😡
Thanks to the local police for their zeal!

Hello hikers, we walked this trail on 12 October 2025. It wasn't too hot and the hike was very pleasant, a beautiful walk between scrubland and rocky outcrops.
A swim was very welcome halfway through.
The return trip through the scrubland partly avoids the hot sun, even in October.
Everything went well.
We just have one doubt about the estimated time; it took us a good 5 hours and 55 minutes, stopping at every break.
We are no longer 20 years old, but even though we are in our sixties, we hike a lot.
A lovely outing
Pay special attention to PARKING at the start of the walk 🚫
Parking is paid from 1 May to 31 October and from Monday to Sunday INCLUSIVE
THIS PARKING IN THE RED ZONE only allows you to park for 5 hours, so you are sure to be the lucky recipient of a €35 fine.
After calling the town hall to report this inconvenience, there is a "free" solution by parking at the cemetery, according to the municipal secretariat!!!.

The trail on the way there (to the beach) is very easy and allows you to swim at any time.
The return journey is inland, along the crest of the hills. There are some steep slopes. Children can shorten this part of the walk and rejoin the outward route at various points.
Shaded path on the second part.

Start early because of the heat, especially on the way back in direct sunlight; take plenty of water and a swimsuit.
The first part along the coast is very beautiful with spectacular scenery. Swimming is possible in small, pleasant coves.
Return through the scrubland on a well-marked trail, which is very pleasant as it is shaded at the beginning and then...

Please note that parking is paid and limited to 6 hours for €10, with a €35 charge for exceeding this time limit! This meant we couldn't enjoy the beach at Cala d'Àgulia, where a few boats and jet skis are moored, for very long. A very beautiful route, although the return trip through the heath was a little more difficult. A nice swim was very welcome on arrival at Campomoro, superb!

To warm up, we cut between 5 and 11.
The path between 12 and the finish line wasn't very clear.
We preferred the part along the sea.

A very interesting hike. Start by visiting the Genoese tower and Cala d'Agulia beach, which is very beautiful and pleasant for a picnic. Be careful, we saw a small jellyfish.
In Campomoro, parking spaces are paid from 1 May to 31 October, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The car park located 350 metres before you reach the village of Campomoro is cheaper.

Very nice walk on 17/05/2025. Magnificent coastal path with beautiful coves and the Cala d'Agulia beach, which is a lovely place for a picnic.
In Campomoro, parking is charged from 1 May to 31 October, from 9am to 7pm, and the maximum duration is 5 consecutive hours in the red zone (heliport car park) and 10 hours in the orange zone (Sant'Antonu car park, 350 metres before arriving in the village of Campomoro).

I did this walk at the end of April, when the maquis was in flower. It's a beautiful hike with 2 main sections:
- the fairly flat outward journey along the seafront with magnificent granite chaos
- the more undulating return through the maquis.

It's true that at the end of the outward journey, you reach the delightful beach of Cala d'Agulia , but it still takes 2 hours to get there . Each section is around 7 km long, which we personally found a little monotonous.

From 12 and until you reach the track, the steep downhill path is of no interest. The hike doesn't pass by the remarkable Tour Génoise de Campomoro, despite the fact that it's quite close and well worth a visit.

When we return, it won't be to repeat this long hike. We'll take the coastal path just around the Punta di Campomoro. We'll go up to the Genoese tower to visit the historic site (€2.50, which goes to an association that maintains the site), and we'll enjoy this magnificent viewpoint. Then we'll head back to Campomoro for an ice-cream without getting too tired.

From a botanical point of view, we were surprised to find far fewer flower species than on other Corsican coastal paths. Why was that? The cows?

Sorry for emphasising the negative points. Once again, it's a great walk if you're brave and a bit sporty. Many thanks to the author.

Magnificent walk at the beginning of October with magical scenery. Deserted beach on arrival out of season. The return journey over the hill offers some very fine views.

The coastal part of this walk is magnificent, with superb rocky landscapes. I highly recommend going as far as Le Cap, the other side of the tower. It makes the walk a bit longer, but it's an incredible place. The Cala D'Agulia beach, halfway along the route, is a great place to swim and picnic.

Very nice circuit that I started in the opposite direction, as advised by some people. I shortened the route (as I've also read in the comments) and ended up doing 7 km. Very varied, between scrubland and coastal paths. Superb scenery.
The only tricky bit was the big rocks with the chains.
Leave early at the moment (at 10:30am, it's already very hot).
