Cap Corse
Corsica · France
The dramatic northern tip of Corsica, Cap Corse extends into open Mediterranean waters where nutrient upwellings sustain rich pelagic and reef life. Rocky headlands drop into clear blue water hosting barracuda, dentex, and bright red coral beds at depth. The exposed nature of the cape means exceptional visibility and reliable sightings of large open-water species that rarely venture inshore.
