Capu Laurosu

Several kilometres of sand on the Gulf of Valinco, minutes from the centre of Propriano and still lightly used, because the access points are set behind low vegetation and dunes rather than signposted from the road. There is nothing built on it. Depending on the weather the waves get lively enough for bodyboarding, so it is not a reliable flat-water swim.
