CapCorse.com exists because Cap Corse deserves more than a page in a Corsica guidebook. It is an independent travel guide to the peninsula and its gateway towns, Bastia and Saint-Florent — written to be genuinely useful before you go and while you are on the road.
What we cover
- The D80 loop: which way to drive it, how long it takes and where to stop.
- The villages, harbours, towers, beaches and walks of the cape, stop by stop.
- How to get here by ferry and plane, and how to get around.
- Which tours and boat trips are worth booking, ranked honestly and updated as ratings change.
- Where to stay, and when to come.
How we research
Practical details are checked against official and local sources — ferry companies, the airport, the tourist offices of Bastia, Cap Corse and Saint-Florent, the prefecture of Haute-Corse — and reviewed regularly. Tour ratings and review counts come directly from GetYourGuide; hotel data from Trip.com. Where a figure varies, such as a crossing time or a price, we give a range and say so, rather than pretending to a precision that does not exist.
Where we express an opinion, it is an opinion. We tell you when a tour is new and unproven, when a beach is better admired than swum from, and when a detour is not worth it on a short day.
How the site is funded
We are a GetYourGuide affiliate partner and a Trip.com partner. If you book a tour or a room through a link on this site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the only way this guide is funded — there is no advertising, no sponsored placements and no paid inclusion in any ranking. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
