Tizzano: Beach, Coastal Path and Fortin

Tizzano can be explored through several specific local features: Cala d’Avena is a sandy beach for families, and the Campomoro–Tizzano coastal path runs along coves, sculpted cliffs, beaches and Corsican maquis. The protected Campumoru–Senetosa natural area can be accessed from the south via a path from the harbor; there are also activities on horseback and underwater, as well as the history of the construction of Fortin de Tizzano. If you are looking for a hotel in Tizzano, these points can help you decide what you would like to focus on during your stay.

Beach and coastal landscape

Cala d’Avena, a sandy beach for families, is located in the hamlet of Tizzano. Beach conditions and nearby services may change; check the current situation when making specific plans.

The Campomoro–Tizzano coastal path runs along coves, sculpted cliffs, beaches and Corsican maquis. This gives it a different focus from Cala d’Avena, the single sandy beach: the emphasis is on several landscape features along the coast. This distinction can help with your travel planning if you have a particular beach spot or a route with varied coastal scenery in mind.

The protected Campumoru–Senetosa natural area can be accessed from the south via the coastal path from the harbor of Tizzano. While the description of the Campomoro–Tizzano path highlights the landscape, this information specifically identifies the southern access route to the natural area. This distinguishes a description of a hiking route from directions to the protected area.

Fortin de Tizzano and its construction history

Fortin de Tizzano originated as a Genoese tower built in the 16th century. In the second half of the 18th century, at the request of the Intendant of Corsica, it was expanded with a fortification featuring four round towers and a rampart walk. This distinguishes two construction phases: the 16th-century tower and the later expansion. The four round towers and the rampart walk identify the structural elements of this expansion. The Fortin has been listed as a historic monument since September 6, 1985. For visitors who include historic sites in their travel plans, the sequence of construction phases offers a specific historical point of interest in Tizzano.

Diving and horseback riding
