Plage de Capu Laurosu

Plage de Capu Laurosu, located in Propriano, Corsica, is a beach known for its natural beauty and tranquility. It extends over a 3.5 km stretch of sandy coastline, offering a panoramic view of the Valinco Gulf from Porto-Pollo to Campomoro Point. Divided into two sections by the Rizzanese River, the beach is characterized by its clear, clean water and fine sand.

The beach is easily accessible by car, with two main routes depending on which section of the beach visitors wish to reach. The section closest to Propriano can be reached via the Plages road (D319), with a parking area situated about 1 km after the Arena Bianca hotel and beach. For the section nearest to Portigliolo, visitors can follow the N196 and then the D121 towards Portigliolo, with several trails near the sea leading to the beach. Ample parking is available for visitors.

Despite its size, Plage de Capu Laurosu is typically not crowded, even during peak tourist seasons. The beach is particularly noted for its spacious, open layout, providing ample space for visitors to relax and enjoy the surroundings. However, visitors are advised to exercise caution on days with rough waves, and when swimming, particularly for children, due to the rapid increase in water depth and the presence of sea urchins.

The northern side of the beach is especially recommended, despite being slightly more difficult to reach. This area features small, secluded beaches intermixed with rocks, and is home to a high concentration of sea urchins. Due to the lack of trash bins on the beach, visitors are encouraged to bring a trash bag to help preserve the beach's cleanliness.
