Sarnia vs Corsica???

My husband & I are planning a 7-10 visit next spring. Any opinions about visiting Corsica vs Sardinia? We like settling in somewhere in an apartment to focus better on an area/place. We love beaches, hiking, photography.....

If your choice will be France, Bonifacio for example, you can discover both islands a little bit in your time. Same if you stay in Italy, St. Teresa. Coming especially from Toronto for beaches, hiking, photography it will be not a problem.....if this is your main interest.

Beaches: it's possible to swim in the Sea in late spring, although the water temperatures are not overwhelming. In early spring, you would certainly be the only one trying such a thing.
Corsica has good maps and a big net of well signmarked trails. Sardinia has some trails too, poorly signmarked or not signmarked at all. Maps are often outdated and/or fanciful.
Both Islands have stunning landscapes, mountains, beaches and archeological places. Public transport is bad in Corsica and mediocre in Sardinia.

Corsica wins for mountainous scapes, high cliffs, coves with sandy beaches.
Sardinia otoh will be cheaper.
Corsica may be extremely expensive in high season, but if you plan on going in spring you should be fine.
