This is probably one of the most famous postcard views of Bonifacio and a must for any social media page. Le Grain de Sable, or 'The Big Finger' as it's known in Corse, is a giant block of cylindrical limestone perched beside the King of Aragon's Staircase. It is very noticeable from much of the South side of the island, so there are plenty of interesting angles that highlight the varying stages of erosion which sculpted the pointy lump of rock.

Les Terrasses du Mini Golf is an 18-hole mini-golf course that is located just a few steps away from the beach and offers entertainment for the whole family.

Perched high in the Serra de Rodes mountains, the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes is a masterpiece of Catalan Romanesque architecture. Founded in the 10th century, this former Benedictine complex features a sophisticated church, a majestic bell tower, and cloisters arranged on terraces with sweeping views of the Cap de Creus peninsula. Notable for its classical-inspired sculptures and the remnants of a finely carved portal, the monastery was a major spiritual centre until the 14th century. Nearby, the ruins of Santa Creu de Rodes medieval village and its pre-Romanesque church complete this historic landscape.

The name of this massive, 38-metre-high cannon tower and museum of the town’s defences literally means “peek into the Kitchen". It was so high that Medieval guards joked they could see right down the chimneys and into the kitchens of the houses below. Make sure to pay a visit to the top floor cafe for beautiful Old Town views.
