View of Nonza

The village of Nonza is a haven on the road to Cap Corse. The view of the large beach below is remarkable. A stop is more than recommended at the Café de la Tour which you cannot miss. A fountain in the shade of the plane trees is located right next to the bar, and a little further you have this beautiful church to visit.

Nonza draws its originality from the grouping of its habitat: unlike the other villages of Cap Corse broken up into hamlets, Nonza, a listed village, is one with the rocky peak (U Monte) crowned by the Paoline tower (built by Pascal Paoli in 1760). The entire coast north of the village of Nonza is made up of an immense beach of sand and black pebbles from the sterile mining rubble of the former Canari-Abro asbestos quarry. The factory was closed in 1965. As a result, the Marina di Nonza from where the boats left for the Agriate disappeared, blocked by rubble. Since then, the sea has gradually regained its rights on this beach which, in the middle of the 20th century, was twice as wide as today. The climb (on foot) to the rocky peak and the tower is worth the detour because it offers a superb panorama of the beach and the town.

Very nicely located place with a great view of the beach below.
I only stopped briefly for a photo because there were lots of tourist cars parked - too much hustle and bustle!
