The Lavezzi Islands

Cala Lazarina is one of the most attractive beaches in the Lavezzi Islands, despite sometimes heavy crowds during the high season. Highly popular with boaters, it welcomes numerous boats and offers an excellent anchorage point. Achiarina Beach, known for its fine sand, also attracts many visitors; to enjoy a bit more peace and quiet, it is recommended to move slightly towards the ends of the beach, while remaining cautious of the rocks in the water. More peaceful, Chiesa Beach is ideal for those seeking a setting without boats on the horizon: large rocks close to the shore form a natural barrier, creating a particularly unspoiled atmosphere. By exploring further around the Lavezzi Islands, you will discover less crowded coves just as charming, such as Cala di u Lioni, Cala di Chiorneri and Cala di Veccia. Access to the beaches of Cavallo Island is more restricted. Boats do not dock there, and the island caters to a high-end clientele, with its private villas and single luxury hotel.

Lavezzu Island can be explored through its many walking trails. Accessible to everyone, the island is characterized by a relatively flat topography. A walk of one to two hours is enough to complete a full circuit of the island. As you walk, you will be surrounded by sand dunes, cliffs, and areas of maquis and scrubland. These diverse landscapes showcase the ecological richness of this island within the Lavezzi Islands. Take time to admire the ornithological diversity, where species such as the European shag, the peregrine falcon and the Audouin’s gull thrive.
It is important to remember that the island is a protected natural reserve, and that preserving this exceptional heritage depends on respecting a few essential rules. During your walk, make sure to stay on marked paths, avoid climbing rocks, and do not collect plants, animals or minerals, in order to contribute to the long-term protection of the Lavezzi Islands.

The Lavezzi Islands are highly sought after for the richness of their water-based activities. Their seabed is a true paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts in Corsica as well as scuba diving lovers.
Equipped with a simple mask and snorkel, or with full diving gear for the more adventurous, you can admire the underwater wildlife of this Corsican archipelago. At depths of around fifteen metres, you may encounter brown groupers, barracudas and many other fascinating species.
