This is Bonifacio, one of the main towns on the island. It is built right on the cliff edge. As you can see the cliff has been undercut by the sea. It is very dramatic to look at but there is no way I would live there. A lovely little bay that we have visited a few times. Very clear water and lots of little fish. Throughout the Med there is much concern about the disappearance of the seagrass beds. These form the basis of the foodchain, so no seagrass = no fish. This beach was heaped high with dead seagrass. A real example of the problem. Further along the beach more dead seagrass piled up in great mounds. We have spent quite a bit of time anchored in Porto Vecchio because it is a safe anchorage and an interesting town. However no anchorage is completly safe.........
