Cap Corse stretches to the north of the border of Bastia - Saint Florent. This peninsula is 40 km lengthwise from north to south and from 10 to 15 km in width. The ridge - Serra - stretches along the peninsula, starting with the greenhouse plantations Pignu (960 m) in the north, to Mount Castellu (540 m) in the south. The top point Follicie is 1322 m. in height, but there are other peaks higher than 1 000 meters, such as Mount Stello. The coast is uneven and precipitous in some places, it has only a few small beaches at the bottom of the bay. The relief of the Ligurian coast is much steeper than the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the inner road length of about 110 km from Bastia in San Fiorenzo, it reveals a panorama of Tuscany and Liguria, Tuscan Archipelago, which are clearly visible on clear days.
