Beautiful location. About 600 - 700 m to walk from the parking area to the start of the path that goes around the tip. Takes about 30 minutes to walk around the tip. In early October there was a lot of space to park. No services other than a restaurant that was not open in the morning. The tower on the mainland side was under renovation in October 2025 and surrounded by scaffolding.
Right now the tower is under reconstruction. But the surroundings are great. Lovely nature with views on islands that are tinted to light red under sunset.
One of the best places to visit nearby Ajaccio. Very close by car with a pretty big parking place (paid). Easy to walk around with the right shoes. You’ll see amazing waves and the beautiful islands around. There’s even a cafe nearby. The drive there is beautiful, along the water.
The best (super)easy walk you can do from Ajaccio. Follow the shore, you have a safe large sidewalk till Scudo, then you can still safely walk on the side of the road. Punta Parata is well worth a visit, fantastic panorama without climbing difficult heights. Bonus: you save a LOT of money by admiring Les Isles Sanguinaires from here instead of navigating to them with an expensive boat. As of August 2025 the tower is not accessible.
Well worth the 20 minute bus ride from the centre to the tower. Some walking paths around the tower but the views are beautiful. Only downside is that the tower is currently under renovation which means you cannot go up there which is a shame.
