View of Anse de Fornali

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

You can park at the parking lot directly on the beach or drive all the way to the back. Then the tour becomes shorter and you don't swallow the dust of the passing vehicles.

The inconspicuous rocks provided us with a shady place to rest and cool off with crystal clear water during the hike from Saint Florent to Plage du Loto.
With a little climbing action you reach a hollowed out rock at the bottom where you can chill out in peace, undetected by other hikers 👍💯

Plage de Lotu

Highlight • Beach

The bay is divided into three small beach sections, with the two outer ones being the most beautiful. The water is so beautifully clear and azure throughout the bay, and now that it's off season, it's been very little. A fantastic bathing pleasure to cool down on our tour. 😍

Tour de la Mortella

Highlight • Monument

Tour Mortella. You should bring enough drink with you on this tour. I can only recommend bathing shoes, as you have to wade through the sea at one point or another. You should also take the lighthouse behind the Genoese tower with you. Very nice tour.

Mortella Point

Highlight • Other

Unfortunately only half of the old tower is still standing, it is still very nice to look at. The tower was built to defend the coast of the Republic of Genoa in the years 1563/64. In 1794 two British warships unsuccessfully attacked the tower of Mortella, but was eventually taken over by British land forces from inland. The British were so impressed by the effectiveness of the tower that they copied its construction several times and wrongly called the construction "Martello", not "Mortella". When the British withdrew from Corsica in 1796, they blew up the tower.

Arinella de Fiume Santu Beach

Highlight • Beach

About 1.5 hours away from St. Florent is one of the most beautiful beaches in the region, the Arinella de Fiume Santu. On the way to Mortella Tower, you cross this beach and at the end you have to wade a few meters through the water to continue the tour.

October 8, 2021,Von Saint-Florent zum Punta Mortella

Our last lap in Corsica led us along the sea through the Saleccia area. The beautiful beaches in this area were unfortunately littered with algae and they could not be overlooked in the water either, so we saved ourselves from swimming in the sea. Nevertheless, it is a very beautiful route always along the sea and in many places the …

Very nice beach trail hike on rocky paths along paradisiacal beaches. Just the way to the parking lot by car is an adventure.

Beautiful coastal hike with ford river Santu. There were even riders along.
Beautiful bays for swimming - be sure to take your bathing suit with you.

June 7, 2025,Sentir du Littoral Saint Florent - Lotu Beach

A very strenuous coastal tour, with narrow paths and lots of gravel. Otherwise, you can swim in the beautiful blue sea. You should reserve a boat ticket for the return trip from Lotu Beach. bateau-saleccia.com

To save 4 km of hiking in a setting that adds nothing, do not park at the first parking lot near St Florent, but take the track which leads to the second parking lot, start of the hike

Soooooooooooooooo beautiful, simply fantastic.
We only did part of this hike as we want to continue later, but every step was worth it.
Even if the heat is a bit in my bones. After about 5.5 kilometers we took a short break on a small beach, took a swim and are then back. The whole route is 7.5 or 10 …
