Sentier Des Douaniers, Coastal hiking trail in Ajaccio, France
The Sentier des Douaniers extends for 4 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast, connecting the Sanguinaires area with Saint-Antoine beach through dirt paths.
French customs officers patrolled this coastal route during past centuries to monitor maritime trade and prevent smuggling activities along the shoreline.
The trail passes through areas showcasing traditional Corsican architecture and agricultural practices, with local farmers maintaining ancestral cultivation methods in nearby fields.
The path maintains an elevation gain of 185 meters and takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach Saint-Antoine beach from the designated parking area.
Wooden markers guide hikers through the route while rocky outcrops along the path serve as natural climbing spots for recreational mountaineers.
