An in-depth guide to Porto Pollo & Campomoro
Porto Pollo
A sleepy seaside village on the Valinco coast, with a small sandy beach and a handful of cafés and restaurants. It makes a pleasant stop when exploring the coast, or a relaxed base for discovering the beautiful beaches further along the Gulf of Valinco, where clear, calm waters are ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
The area is rich in ancient history, too. Nearby Filitosa is one of Corsica’s most important prehistoric sites, famed for its enigmatic carved menhirs and remarkable stone monuments, which stand among the surrounding landscape.
Campomoro
At the tip of the Gulf of Valinco, Campomoro is an idyllic little seaside resort dominated by the largest of Corsica’s Genoese towers. Its sheltered, beautifully curved sandy bay is backed by a small collection of cafés and restaurants, giving the village a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.
Beyond the beach, walking trails lead along some of the island’s most rugged coastline, revealing secluded coves, rocky inlets and spectacular views across the Mediterranean. The clear waters and sheltered bays also make this an appealing area to explore by boat, whether sailing along the coast or simply searching out a quiet cove for a swim.
