User reviews
"The beach is absolutely amazing, with its breathtaking waves and picturesque scenery. It is truly a perfect spot to relax and appreciate the beauty of nature. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a blissful beach experience."
Landon Voss
"The beach is truly remarkable and stunning, almost untouched, and what makes it unique is its location at the mouth of a small river. The parking lot by the roadside is well-maintained and convenient. It is incredibly peaceful, possibly due to its distance from the center of Propriano, which is only a minute away by car. It feels as if you are in a protected natural area. Th..."
