10 Exceptional

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. The sand is slightly coarse but not too sticky. However, parents should be cautious as the water gets deep fairly quickly, which may pose a risk for young children.
