Description of the walk

Park in the small car park at the end of the road.

(S/E) Head towards the lake, go around the tennis court on the left and then join the north beach of Rondinara Bay.

Go to the end of the beach to reach the hiking trail, which is clean but unmarked and not easy to find. You have to climb up into the scrub, where you will find a well-marked path that climbs slightly to reach a small hillock with a beautiful view of the bay.

(1) Then walk along the southern coast of the peninsula and turn north to reach a small beach.

(2) Here too, there are no markings: turn left immediately, avoiding the beach. Cross a beautiful area planted with mastic trees, olive trees and arbutus trees, following the southern side of the pond, and return to the starting beach. Take the same path back to the small car park (S/E).

Waypoints

  1. S/E : km 0 - alt. 15 m - Car park
  2. 1 : km 0.54 - alt. 16 m - Promontory, viewpoint
  3. 2 : km 1.06 - alt. 3 m - Beach
  4. S/E : km 1.77 - alt. 15 m - Car park

Notes

A very easy and short hike; you can bring the children and enjoy a break on the small beach, which is usually very quiet.

Worth a visit

Beautiful views of the bay, the jagged coastline to the east, the small beach and the forest on the way back.

Hike done in the wake of Rondinara. Very beautiful area. Some difficulty finding certain paths in the brush, so follow the GPS route closely.
Did it with my two dogs, weighing 10 and 20 kg, with no problems.

A simple walk before relaxing on the beach
start from the Rondinara car park as it's not easy to find the road that leads to the designated starting point
This allows you to cross Rondinara and choose where to lay your towel on the way back.

A superb hike in the Bouches de Bonifacio Natural Park. A refreshing walk along the coastline with a detour into the Étang de la Testarella wetland.
