Description of the walk

To find the car park, take the D122 from Viagenti. 300 m after the cemetery, take the road to the right towards the camping site and not the harbour. In front of the Kevano camping site turn right (sign for Bruzzi) and go straight to the car park.

(S) From the car park, to find the starting point for the walk follow the signs "Trail Bruzzi".
You walk under a high “maquis” composed of plant species typical of the area. The trail leads to an old track (1). Panoramic view over Mont Sainte-Victoire
Keep to the track and follow the signs. After a kilometre, the trail branches off to the left, towards the sea, following a stone wall.
You will find Arbitru bay an the first beach here.
Continue along the shore following the cairns.
You gently return towards the Bruzzi point. You reach the coral beach.
A sign guides you to the last track.

A very nice, easy route with some great views. However, it is difficult to find your way around in places.

A very pleasant and easy walk. The path alternates between undergrowth and stretches along the coast (with several opportunities for swimming). In autumn, very few people visit this trail, which makes it worthwhile.

Very nice tour of southern Corsica, perhaps one of the most beautiful by the sea.
Few people in this early October when the weather was mixed.
Small, convenient roadside car park next to the start, so trainers were a must.
Did it with my 2 dogs (10 and 20kg) with no problem.

A lovely walk, even on an overcast day!
Several fairly steep climbs, so good hiking boots are essential.
Magnificent outing between sea and mountains, we love it.
Several beautiful viewpoints.

Super walk, very pretty and very enjoyable! Easy to follow and easy to get to. Ideal for families. There's a small cove halfway along the route where you can go for a swim.

A superb walk between scrubland and coastline.
Bring something to quench your thirst as there is very little shade.
We had a picnic and went for a swim on the first beach/creek as it was very hot that day. We didn't start hiking again until around 5pm 😊

We finished our stay with this walk before catching the plane to Figari the same day (20 minutes away). And we're delighted we did, because the place is magnificent and the little coves at the end of the walk are fantastic for swimming. Note that it's accessible to all, well signposted and not very shady, so don't forget your hat!

A splendid walk with a wide variety of landscapes. I do it every time I'm on holiday in Porto-Vecchio because I love it so much.
