Lavezzi Islands
Corsica · France
A protected archipelago of pink granite islands at Corsica's southern tip, the Lavezzi Islands sit within the Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve. Clear Tyrrhenian water flows between France and Sardinia here, creating a rich mixing zone where posidonia meadows, rocky reefs, and sandy channels converge. The combination of habitat diversity and total protection has produced outstanding biodiversity for the western Mediterranean.
