The water around Cargèse is lovely, and there are beaches and rocky coasts north and sout h of the harbor. The surrounding countryside is spotted with paths.
If you go north past Plage Perù and follow the signs to the Presqu'île peninsula, you will find a long, empty strip of land with an old Genovese watch tower on the end. It makes a nice walk in good weather, and takes about an hour and a half to get there from town.
