Propriano lies at the far end of the Gulf of Valinco, one of the most beautiful in southern Corsica. From the U Frusteru residence, the town beaches are about 1 km away, and the gulf’s long sandy beaches and wild coves are just a short drive.
Le Lido, Propriano’s town beach
Right next to the harbour and the lighthouse, Le Lido is the easiest beach to reach: fine sand, calm water and restaurants close by. Perfect for an evening swim before dinner at the harbour.
Baracci and Capu Laurosu, the long beaches
North of town, Baracci beach stretches out in a long strip of sand facing the gulf. To the south, Capu Laurosu, near the mouth of the Rizzanese river, is popular for its space and for board sports when the wind picks up.
These beaches are exposed: check the swimming conditions before going in.
Portigliolo and Campomoro, heading south
Following the southern shore of the gulf, Portigliolo beach offers a wide stretch of sand. Further on, the small village of Campomoro, at the end of the road, hides a clear-water cove overlooked by its Genoese tower, the starting point of a beautiful coastal path.
Cupabia and Porto Pollo, across the gulf
On the northern shore, the unspoilt Cupabia beach, lined with maquis, appeals to those who love peace and quiet. The village of Porto Pollo is a well-known spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
Our concierge will gladly suggest the best beach of the day depending on the wind.
