Island of the Pietra and their Islets

Pietra Island and its islets are a symbol of the city. These reddish coloured rocks reddish gave the city its name. You can see them from afar, but when you get close, they look different. There is parking at the entrance, but there is no need to take a boat, because the island can be reached by foot. The most enjoyable way to get there is to take the Paseo de La Marinella. Leaving the beach town, it is situated in the heart of L'Ile Rousse, bordering the boats, with a magnificent view over the coast. The light is, as it always is in Corsica, exceptional ... The closer you get, the more you can make out the islets surrounding the island of Pietra, called Roccio, Roccetto and Piano.
