Corsica 2007

Corsica is about 180 kms by 80 kms. The coast is 1000 kilometres (300 are beach) long and has amazing cliffs, long sandy beaches and many hidden coves. It is almost certainly the least 'spoiled' coastline of France. By comparison with the built up coasts of mainland France, Corsica's are relatively unspoiled and jealously guarded. Over a fifth now belong to the Conservatoire du Littoral. The French Coast Law (loi littoral) has come too late to save the Riviera, but is stoutly defended in Corsica, though there have been some infringements. The law is designed to permit free access to the sea for all. The coast is defined by all land that is touched by the sea, including in storms. Free access over land should be available within 500 metres of any point and there should be free longitudinal access by foot round the entire coast. The law also protects 'sensitive areas' such as dunes, lagoons, wetlands, woody coastal zones or those which are habitats of protected species. It also has an objective of organised urbanisation, such that the principles of the law are respected.
