Roccapina Lion Rock & Beach
Roccapina
A granite boulder shaped like a crouching lion guards a bay of white sand: a classic image of Corsica's southwest coast.
Roccapina lies beside the N196 road between Bonifacio and Sartène. On the headland, weathered granite has taken the shape of a crouching lion, with a Genoese watchtower standing beside it and a bay of white sand and clear water below. Roadside lookouts give full views of Lion Rock. To reach the beach, take a bumpy dirt track or walk for about 20 minutes. It is about a 30-minute drive from Bonifacio and can be paired with Sartène on the same day.
