Hike overview
The Campomoro Coastal trail is a spectacular loop hike that begins in the picturesque village of Campomoro, which is located southwest of the Gulf of Valinco. The route takes you on a journey through a succession of coves and inlets along a rocky coastline dotted with taffoni, which are granite formations sculpted by erosion.
The trail runs along the coast to Cala d'Agulia, a paradise beach with crystal-clear waters. Then, it returns through the scrubland via Punta di Manna Mulina, which rises to an altitude of 180 meters.

Difficulties of the hike
While the hike does not present any major technical difficulties, it requires good physical condition due to its distance of over 15 kilometers and cumulative elevation gain of 430 meters. The route mainly follows rocky and uneven terrain, particularly along the coastal section.
Although the trail is not marked, it is easily identifiable and well maintained by the Conservatoire du littoral. There is virtually no shade along the route; only the scrubland crossing on the way back offers intermittent shade.
