I do see what yo mean about Cornwall - that's one of my avourite parts of the country (next to the North East) and yes, rugged coastlines and hidden coves and beaches are certainly a feature of Corsica, too!
Corsica is very individual and the people are fiercely independent! It's basically a mountain sticking out of the sea, but it is stunningly beautiful in a not-too-tamed way - just like Cornwall - and it has an atmosphere and smell which is just unique and wonderful. The Greeks called it Calliste which means beautiful island. It's not heavily developed for the most part, which helps - although now Sleezyjet fly there, I guess things might change! The downside is it's very popular with the better off, so prices are relatively high, and the beautiful Italians, so the beaches get depressing for flabby, pale Brits like me! But you can usually find a quiet one where there's less toned and tanned flesh on view. And the ice-cream is to die for.
Well, if you'e looking for somewhere to holiday, I can recommend Corsica. But I may be biased ;)
