The northeast corner of Cap Corse is only accessible by foot. During our stay in Corsica we made a multi-day walk following the footpath, - Sentier des Douaniers. The Finocchiarola ("Fennel") Islands lie just offshore Tamorone Bay. Wild fennel cover the islands which are protected by the Réserve Naturelle du Conservatoire du Littorala, a nature reserve, especially for safeguarding the rare Audouin's gull and Cory's shearwater, both of which breed there. The islands are accessible out of the breeding season.
