Porto di Cavallo
About
Porto di Cavallo serves Corsica as a harbour on Cavallo Island, within the Archipelago di Lavezzi and the commune of Bonifacio, postal code 20169. The setting places it among the Lavezzi islands, scattered across the water off the island's southern coast.
Visitors rate the harbour 4.4 out of 5 across 104 reviews, a strong showing for a landing point in this exposed southern archipelago. Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, Corte, Saint-Florent and Propriano all sit within Corsica's road and ferry network, though the island itself is reached by boat from the Bonifacio area. July and August bring French families to Corsica for summer holidays, and coastal towns fill accordingly.
The harbour's own website, bonifacio-marina.corsica, carries practical information for anyone planning a crossing. Corsican produce such as brocciu cheese, figatellu sausage, chestnut flour and clementines appears in markets across the island.
Corsica has direct flights from mainland France, while smaller islands such as Cavallo are reached only by ferry, so a crossing should be arranged in advance. Mediterranean summers suit the southern coast, though the same waters can turn rough outside the season. French is spoken throughout, and the island's food leans on seafood and regional specialities.
