Punta Spano
Punta Spano is a cape on the French coast characterized by rocky shores and direct sea views. The land point extends into the water and offers views of the surrounding waters and coastal landscape.
This cape has long served as a landmark for seafarers and coastal travelers in the region. Its importance as a navigational reference point has persisted even as the surrounding area has changed.
This location is best visited in stable weather and offers little shelter from the elements. Visitors should be cautious of slippery rocks and waves that surge around the rocky formations.
This cape is a place where birdwatchers often spot seabirds and migratory species flying over the water. The rocky coastline provides them with natural resting spots during their journeys.

Corsica is a Mediterranean island with a varied landscape that ranges from rocky coastlines to white sand beaches, mountain lakes, and deep canyons. The island combines water in many forms: quiet coves with clear seas, mountain streams flowing through granite rock, and lagoons at sheltered coastal sections. These locations show the geological history of the island, with rock formations shaped by wind and water over thousands of years. Along the coast stand old watchtowers from the time when the island needed protection from attacks by sea, while inland prehistoric sites give evidence of early settlers.From the black pebble beaches on the northern coast to the long sandy beaches in the south, the island offers a range of landscapes. Some beaches lie in remote coves accessible only on foot or by boat, others are found at river mouths where fresh water meets the sea. In the mountains there are waterfalls and clear alpine lakes at elevations over 6000 feet (1800 meters). Roads through the canyons follow river courses and connect the coast to the interior, passing through narrow valleys between steep rock walls.
