Cala di Chiesa, Beach in Bonifacio, France
Cala di Chiesa is a small sandy cove surrounded by tall granite cliffs on Corsica's southern Mediterranean coast. The bay forms a natural amphitheater where steep stone walls rise from the water, creating a sheltered pocket of beach.
This cove sits along ancient Mediterranean shipping routes used by multiple civilizations for movement and trade. The location has been part of the region's maritime connections for centuries.
Local people appreciate this cove for its natural setting and use it as a retreat from busier parts of the coast. The spot holds meaning for those who value Corsica's unspoiled character and connection to the sea.
The cove is only accessible by water, with regular boat trips departing from Bonifacio harbor that take about 30 minutes. The terrain is rocky and rugged, so proper footwear and care when entering are needed.
The cove hosts diverse underwater life with fish species living among seagrass meadows and exploring natural granite formations. This marine environment draws visitors who enjoy snorkeling and watching sea life.

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.
