Snabba fakta: Den 12 kilometer lÄnga kustslingan cirklar runt ön dÀr Giuseppe Garibaldi tillbringade sina sista Är, med hans enkla vita hus fortfarande synligt frÄn stigen. Granitblock i bilstorlek kantar stranden, formade av vinden till gestalter som förÀndras med varje storm.
Höjdpunkter: Titta noga pÄ granitformationerna nÀra den östra sidan sÄ fÄr du syn pÄ naturliga bassÀnger uthuggna av saltstÀnk, nÄgra med havsvatten som glittrar som flytande turkos. Lokala fiskare kallar dem "jÀttens badkar" och pÄ lugna dagar reflekterar vattnet himlen sÄ perfekt att du inte kan avgöra var klippan slutar och molnen börjar.
Insidertips
- Start clockwise from the bridge for dramatic coastal views first, saving the wooded inland stretch for the return.
- Wear sturdy shoes: the granite sections get polished smooth by wind and can be slippery near the water.
- The only drinking water tap is at the Garibaldi museum entrance, so carry at least 1.5 liters per person.
- Bring a swimsuit and towel, some of the most swimmable coves like Cala Portese are mid-trail with zero crowds.
