Road access
If you want to take this walk you must reach Tizzano, one of the hamlets of Sartène. You must drive towards Bonifacio and after two kilometres you must turn right and take the road D 48 to reach Tizzano. You can park your car near the beach but pay attention not to obstruct the traffic, in particular during the summer months.
Sartène is located at 92.3 kilometres from Ajaccio (T 40 and D 48 roads) and at 58.1 kilometres from Bonifacio (T 40 and D 48 roads).

Description
This walk will let you discover a rather wild coastline, with not many visitors even during the summer period. The tafoni – this Corsican word indicates a particular type of erosion which forms cavities and which gives the rocks strange shapes – give the region a very special aspect.
After having parked your car you must cross the beach: the walk starts on the other side of the beach itself. You must take the path marked in red which sets off to your left. At the beginning the path climbs quite steeply and can sometimes be overgrown by bushes: you should wear good shoes and please be careful if you have children. Then the path starts to descend towards the sea. Pay attention because the path is narrow and stony.
Luckily the path becomes less and less steep and shadier: enjoy the view but you must know that the path never runs along the seafront. After having passed the tip of the promontory the path becomes a sort of mule track, you must continue walking and take the path which leads towards Cala di Brija.
Go back along the same itinerary.
