Coming from the RD 55, continue straight on to the Isolella peninsula and park at Anse Sainte-Barbe, just before the road climbs to the left.
(S/E) Take the path that runs alongside a property and leads to the sea in the middle of Anse Sainte-Barbe. When you reach the water's edge, turn left onto the rocks to reach a small beach bordered by a jetty.
Walk along the beach to a small tarmac road leading to a small peninsula (Pointe de Damigiana).
(1) Follow this road to the right. Just before the gate to the private property, take the path through the woods on the right.
Continue to a small cove. Go down and back up the other side to go around a large rock. You can enjoy beautiful views of Anse Sainte-Barbe, the Gulf of Ajaccio and Pointe de Damigiana.
Then retrace your steps.
(1) Continue straight ahead on the small road and enter the housing estate. Turn left and then immediately right to reach another beach.
Walk along the beach for about two-thirds of its length, then turn left up a rutted path between the villas.
This path then turns into a road. Continue straight ahead uphill to a major intersection at the entrance to the Isolella fitness trail.
(2) Turn right towards the fitness trail. At the immediate crossroads, take the path that climbs straight up towards the Genoese tower.
(3) Once at the tower, a recently constructed path leads down through the trees to the path that circles the peninsula. Take this path down to the right of the tower. Please note that the end of the path is steep and slippery. Feel free to use the trees for support.
Then turn left to return to the park entrance (you can also turn right, as the two paths meet). Along this section, you can enjoy several views of Anse Médéa.
(2) Go down the road on the left. At the fork, turn right. Ignore a street on the left and, at the end, turn right to return to the starting point (S/E).
