Cala della Chiesa
A sheltered inlet on Lavezzu, the smaller of the two main islands in the archipelago off Bonifacio, with water shallow and clear enough that the snorkelling is the reason most people come. Access is by boat only, on excursions that leave daily from Bonifacio in season. The Santa Maria chapel, the two cemeteries and the lighthouse are all within a short walk of the landing.
