Coastal viewpoint, narrow access
D33, 20228, Barrettali
Been here?
A viewpoint parking area on the D33, offering exceptional views of the Corsican coast and beautiful sunsets. It is a good overnight spot with very little traffic at night. Access is difficult for wide or long vehicles: the road is hardly 3.5 m wide, with four tight switchbacks in the first 600 m and 1.4 km of narrow road afterward. Meeting another vehicle may require reversing.

Very beautiful parking area, good place to spend the night, and a very beautiful location, especially for watching the sunset. The road is quite narrow but passable.Translating
Yes, one of the best view possible. However it is 2km from the D80 (normal road), the first 600m had 4 switch backs that requires 3-pt turns (at least for a 6m Ducato), then the 1,4km on the D33 which is hardly 3,5m wide is stressful as you might meet another vehicle and would need to back up. Based on that, I would not recommend this magnificent place. Room for only 2 campers.
Magnificent view of the Corsican cliffs. But wider or longer vehicles should think twice: the road is extremely narrow in places, and the hairpin bends have an extremely tight radius!Translating
It’s hard to imagine a better place to park. Many thanks for the suggestion; we would never have found this on our own. Great sunset. In the night, only three vehicles actually passed by.Translating
