Bonifacio is a dramatic cliff top town at the southern tip of Corsica known for its white limestone walls its narrow medieval streets and its breathtaking views over the sea. The upper town stands on a long promontory carved by wind and waves and its tall houses rise just above sheer cliffs that drop toward bright turquoise water. Lanes arches and small squares create an intimate historic atmosphere shaped by centuries of maritime life. Below the cliffs the natural harbor shelters boats and adds a calm counterpoint to the high citadel. Coastal paths and viewpoints reveal sculpted rock formations and wide horizons that stretch toward Sardinia. Altogether Bonifacio brings together sea cliffs and ancient stone in a vivid balanced way.
