Here, nature is the great master on board. We went in search of the most beautiful wild places to explore off the beaten path on the island of Beauty. Sailing fans, kayaking adventurers or peaceful swimmers: here are our 3 favorite ways to discover Corsica's wild side this summer. ## The arabesques of Bonifacio The Bouches de Bonifacio is an international strait that is home to a nature reserve of incredible beauty. As soon as the sun rises, meet up at the port of Bonifacio, guarded by its imposing citadel. Jump aboard a sailboat and set off to explore the gigantic chaos of stones that is the Bouches de Bonifacio. The small islands hide the largest nature reserve in France: revealing a magnificent underwater fauna, remarkable birds such as the gray shearwater and a flora with alpine and African influences. If you go a little further, you will find the Lavezzi Islands and the emerald coast of Sardinia.

It's an expedition in the middle of the wild. If you are adventurous, the circuit of Zoicu is to discover absolutely. Go kayaking through the meanders of this winding river and stop on a rocky beach. The rest of the adventure is done climbing, taking all your might to reach the top. Arriving at the top, catch your breath and soak up the breathtaking view of the wide open gorge in front of you.

Go up the trail of douaniers through this unexplored territory to find the beach of Saleccia, our favorite beach in the region.
