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.
