Start from the harbour car park.
(S/E) Take the port access road to rejoin the D757, then turn right towards the village. Follow the main road to the self-service shop.
(1) 50 m further on, take a path on the left marked by a signpost on a post to the left of the road. The path climbs through the scrub between a low stone wall and a fence. Follow the orange markings.
A glance back during the climb offers a view of the Taravo valley and the Étang de Tanchiccia.
(2) At thefirst junction, turn left onto the gently descending path towards Punta Di Porto Poddu (Porto Pollo Point). No signposting.
(3) 100 metres past the large rock on the right-hand side of the path, leave the wide path and turn right, then follow the sandy track that leads into the vegetation. Then descend quite steeply towards the tower, which can be seen through the trees.
(4) Genoese tower of Capanella. Continue along the path behind the tower and begin the descent.
(5) At the junction at the bottom of the slope, turn left to follow a wide track through the vegetation. Ignore the small paths and property entrances to stay on the main path (yellow markings).
(6) At the junction by the “Panorama de Porto Pollo” housing estate, turn right onto the tarmac road towards the hamlet known as “Résidence de Punta”.
After “a Punta”, ignore the path leading straight ahead and turn left towards the housing estate on the headland.
(7) At the end of the road, take the small path on the left running alongside a property, then go through a gate to follow a lane down to the coast.
(8) Facing the sea, turn left and then follow the coastline as closely as possible to the car park at the port of Porto Pollo, the end of this walk (S/E).
