Corsica South Coasters celebrates its 4th anniversary! Four years can be a long time in Second Life.
Places change. Parcels change hands. Builds appear and disappear. People wander off, new people arrive, and sometimes old friends find their way back again.
And every once in a while, something sticks.
On September 15, 2026, Corsica South Coasters celebrates its fourth anniversary along the southern coast of Mainland Corsica.
Trying to explain CSC to someone who has never been here is a little tricky.
It’s an art community. A music community. A place to explore. There are homes, galleries, cafés, forests, waterways, ports and gathering places scattered along Circuit La Corse.
But none of those things quite explains it.
Mostly, CSC is people.
From One Chapter to the Next
CSC didn’t begin on an empty stretch of Mainland.
Many of the places that eventually became part of Corsica South Coasters had previously been connected through Campbell Coast, an earlier community in the area.
When that chapter came to an end, the people and places that remained began finding a new way forward.
CSC grew from that transition.
It wasn’t about recreating exactly what had been there before. Instead, individual residents, landowners and creators began shaping their own spaces while staying connected to the larger neighborhood around them.
Four years later, that still feels like an important part of what makes CSC work.
There isn’t one CSC look.
There isn’t one kind of place you are supposed to build.
And there certainly isn’t one person sitting somewhere deciding what everyone else should be doing.
The individual places belong to the people who own or rent them. What makes Corsica South Coasters special is the community and the connections that have grown between them.
You Can Actually Go Somewhere
This may be one of my favorite things about living here.
You don’t have to teleport everywhere.
You can get in a car.
Or a boat.
Or an airplane.
Or climb on a horse.
Or, because this is Second Life, fly there under your own power if you really want to.
Circuit La Corse runs through the heart of the area, connecting us to the larger road network of Mainland Corsica. Our waterways lead outward toward the Blake Sea and beyond, and we even have the Corsica South Coast Airfield.
CSC’s visitor information has starting points by land, sea and air.
But walking may still be one of the best ways to discover it.
Start at the Corsica Tourist Center and Tea Garden. Follow a road. Wander into a forest. Find an art gallery. Stop for coffee. Discover somewhere to fish. Take a trail because you’re curious about where it goes.
And suddenly you’ve wandered into someone else’s little corner of Second Life.
That is one of the things I have always loved about the Mainland.
You never quite know what’s around the next corner.
So What Do We Do at Corsica South Coasters?
Apparently, quite a lot.
Over the years we’ve had concerts, gallery openings, exhibitions, fishing contests, road trips, tours, writing gatherings, Tea & Talk, seasonal celebrations and assorted community projects.
People sail through. Hike. Ride horses. Listen to music. Look at art. Explore the roads. Go fishing.
Sometimes we sit around drinking imaginary tea or wine.
Sometimes we simply sit together for a while.
There are so many places scattered throughout CSC that trying to list them all here would probably guarantee I forget somebody.
Your best bet is to check the Destination Guide on the right-hand side of the Corsica South Coasters website and start exploring from there.
Some places have been here for years. Others will probably look completely different six months from now.
That’s okay.
Second Life would be terribly boring if we ever finished it.
The People Make the Place
People have come and gone over the past four years, too.
Some have been here from the beginning. Others arrived much later. Some disappeared for a while and came back. New residents moved in. Artists brought their work. Musicians brought their guitars. Visitors came for an event and discovered there was considerably more here than the place they teleported into.
We’ve also wandered outside our own neighborhood, working and playing with other Mainland and Second Life communities along the way.
Joining tours, cruises, events, art projects and collaborations that have taken us well beyond our own stretch of Corsica..
But whether someone built an entire destination, hung a painting, played a concert, organized an event, planted a tree, brought a friend, or simply showed up and spent an afternoon with us, all of those little pieces became part of the story.
Because after four years, I don’t think CSC is really made from roads or galleries or forests or parcels of virtual land.
The places give us somewhere to find one another.
And maybe that’s what community is supposed to do.
Corsica South Coasters Turns 4!
So naturally, we’re having a party.
On Tuesday, September 15, we’re gathering at NovaOwl to celebrate.
Tuesday, September 15, 2026
11:00 AM – 2:00 PM SLT
[Teleport to NovaOwl]
Uli Jansma will be providing the music for the afternoon, so come dance, catch up with old friends, meet some new ones, and probably wander off to see what else you can find while you’re here.
Three of CSC’s five original founders — Uli Jansma, Ceakay Ballyhoo (CK), and me, Owl Dragonash will be there.
We are looking forward to celebrating alongside the residents, friends, artists, musicians, explorers and visitors who have helped make CSC what it is today.
Everyone is welcome.
Then We’ll See What Happens Next
Nobody knew exactly what CSC would look like four years later.
I rather like that.
We’re still building things. Planting things. Hanging art. Playing music. Exploring Corsica. Meeting people. Changing our minds. Moving things around.
And somebody is always coming up with another idea.
So for a few hours on September 15, we’ll stop and celebrate what has already happened.
Then we’ll probably go right back to making something else.
Happy fourth anniversary, CSC.
See you at NovaOwl. ~ 🦉
