Bonifacio's Cliff

Bonifacio’s Cliff, located on the south west tip of Corsica near the town of Bonifacio, is one of the most dramatic seascapes in Europe. It consists of a towering limestone escarpment 140-metres high, which plunges directly in to the Mediterranean Sea. The huge limestone wall, known as Les Falaises De Bonifacio, Europe’s “natural aquarium,” is home to a wide variety of cetaceans, fish and sea birds. There is a rugged coastline and a handful of isolated coves and sandy beaches for swimming. Here you will also find Bo, an archipelago of small islands, as well as numerous grottos to explore. Take in the majestic scenery and views of the sea on the many hiking trails, with an enchanting mix of rock, rocks, and vegetation. Marvel at the charming whitewashed buildings of the old town, perched on a rocky hill above the port. All can be visited by boat, land or both.
