Discover Lecci: beach, market and nature

When looking for a hotel in Lecci, it helps to tailor your travel plans to the interests that matter to you. The following information covers specific places and activities: Saint-Cyprien and its bay, the Genoese tower of San Ciprianu, the hiking trail from Punta d’Arasu, and Domaine Fior Di Lecci. The beach, market, boating areas, viewpoints and tastings offer different pointers for planning your days. This makes it possible to distinguish beach and nature activities from market times and specific opening hours.

Saint-Cyprien Beach and Bay

Saint-Cyprien Beach has fine sand and exceptionally good water quality. Water quality can help guide your plans for swimming, but it does not replace checking seasonal bathing conditions. Posidonia seagrass meadows are becoming established again on the seabed in Saint-Cyprien Bay, while the number of noble pen shells is also increasing. Both observations relate to the marine environment, whose ecological conditions can change over time. They add a perspective on the seabed and the bay’s natural environment to the description of the beach.

There is another seasonal detail for the beach area near TIKI: in July and August, a lifeguard station staffed by lifeguards is available near the restaurant. Check its availability before your visit during the current bathing season.

Night market and evening plans

The Saint Cyprien night market takes place on Friday evenings from 7 p.m. Artisans sell their wares there, and musical and summer events are held regularly. Friday evening gives you a specific time to plan around, while the seasonal events programme may change. If you want to plan a visit to the market or an accompanying event, check the dates in advance.

Boating zone in the bay

There is an organised anchoring zone for small boats in Saint-Cyprien Bay. It is divided into the northern New Love area and the southern La Tour area. The two names help distinguish the areas from one another; the division applies to this anchoring zone, not to the entire bay in general. As arrangements may change, check the current organisation if you are planning to anchor.

Tower and hiking trail

The Genoese tower of San Ciprianu is said to have been built in the 1590s. The wording “is said to” deliberately keeps the date uncertain. The hiking trail from Punta d’Arasu offers views from the summit of San Ciprianu Bay and the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio. These are distinct interests: the tower offers a historical point of reference, while the summit views are the trail’s defining landscape feature.

Tastings at Domaine Fior Di Lecci

Complimentary tastings are offered at Domaine Fior Di Lecci from Monday to Saturday, between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Unlike the Friday evening night market, this activity is available during the day on several days of the week. Check the opening hours before your visit. This helps you distinguish the stated times for tastings and the market from seasonal beach and event conditions.
