Golfe de Lava
4.5 (325 reviews)
Tucked into the Gulf of Lava about 30km north of Ajaccio, this small marina sits in a remarkably quiet and unspoiled bay that still feels off the beaten path. The setting is genuinely beautiful — calm, sheltered waters backed by the wild Corsican interior, with Appietto beach right on your doorstep. It's a great base if you want easy access to the Gulf of Sagone to the north while staying well clear of the bustle of Ajaccio itself.
