A cove at the end of the trail
Cala d'Agulia doesn't come easy. You have to start from Campomoro, follow the Genoese tower, then take the coastal path for about three hours of walking to reach this isolated cove. Those who'd rather skip the hike can rent a boat and land directly in the bay.
This distance explains why the beach stays lightly visited, even in high season. No parking nearby, no crowd settling in at dawn: here, people come for the isolation as much as for the scenery.
A wild setting
The turquoise water, the pebbles, the rocks closing off the bay like a jewel case: the setting of Cala d'Agulia has plenty to surprise you after the effort of the walk. A small stream meets the sea right here, adding a raw touch to the whole.
The overall atmosphere is calm, almost timeless, far from the developed beaches of the Corsican coast.
Nudity tolerated, not required
On this beach classed as tolerant, nudity isn't a rule but a widespread practice. Naturists, families and passing hikers mingle here without particular tension, each choosing their outfit as they please.
What visitors say
Reviews keep coming back to the same point: the walk is tough, but the view on arrival wipes out the fatigue. In high season, a few regulars miss the growing number of boats that break the peace a little, and sometimes mention cleanliness issues left behind by visitors.
Still, for anyone who accepts this demanding access, Cala d'Agulia keeps its status as a hidden cove, far from the beaten paths of Corsican tourism.
