Bonifacio Cliffs

The Bonifacio Cliffs are towering white limestone formations located on the southern coast of Corsica, France. They rise dramatically above the Strait of Bonifacio, which separates the French island of Corsica from the Italian island of Sardinia.

The most popular way to view the cliffs is by taking a boat tour departing from the marina of the town of Bonifacio, which sails directly under the towering limestone formations. Alternatively, visitors can walk along the cliff edges from the historic upper town to get sweeping aerial views of the coastline.

The 'Grain de Sable,' or 'Grain of Sand,' is a massive, iconic limestone sea stack sitting just off the coast near the Bonifacio Cliffs. It was separated from the main cliff face by centuries of coastal erosion and is frequently circumnavigated by tourist boats.

Yes, there are well-maintained walking paths along the top of the limestone cliffs that offer safe, spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. However, the edges are unfenced in certain spots, so visitors are advised to keep a safe distance from the crumbling limestone precipice.
