Sagone is a seaside resort in the area of Coggia, which is partly shared with the municipality of Vico. For visitors, the beach and water sports go hand in hand with an approximately one-hour circular walk around Pointe du Triu Sagone and historic sites. If you are looking for a holiday rental in Sagone, you can start by considering whether swimming and water activities, walks through the landscape or culture will shape your stay. The beach, walking route and historic sites each have their own practical considerations.
Historic sites and access
The Tour génoise de Sagone was listed as a historic monument by decree on 19 April 1974. Access is via a small path, after crossing a low barrier. The structure is in poor condition, so access conditions may change. Check the situation before visiting. The archaeological site of Sant’Appianu is accessible by car and has a car park. Here too, check access information before setting out.
Beach and water sports
Swimming is supervised at Sagone beach. Lifeguard supervision is seasonal and should be checked locally. The beach also has an anchorage for sports and leisure boats. These details can help you plan a beach visit: supervision applies to swimming, while the anchorage is intended for boats.
Sagone Glisse rents kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, surfboards and pedal boats from its two water sports centres in Sagone and at Liamone. Sagone Glisse also offers beginner and advanced surfing or stand-up paddleboarding lessons. Sagone Plongée adds diving courses, try dives and dives to the range of activities available in Sagone. There are several ways to enjoy the water: use a watercraft, take a surfing or stand-up paddleboarding lesson, or go diving.
Getting around on foot or on horseback
The walking route around Pointe du Triu Sagone takes about an hour. On the way out, the view extends across the Gulf of Sagone; on the return, it is over the Gulf of Cargèse. The circular route therefore offers two different views as a short, approximately one-hour walking option. The duration is approximate; weather and maintenance may affect trail conditions. Take these factors into account when planning, rather than inferring the level of difficulty from the estimated time.
Ranch de Sagone offers rides through maquis, river landscapes and mountains. The routes follow former mule tracks to goat sheds. Unlike the loop at Pointe du Triu, the focus here is on riding through varied landscapes, while the walking route offers an approximately one-hour option on foot. You can choose between the two activities based on your preferred way of getting around and the kind of landscape experience you want. The availability of the ranch’s offer may change; check before planning a ride.
