Plage de la Calanca

The beach extends along a fine sandy shoreline beneath limestone cliffs, offering direct views toward the Mediterranean Sea and Propriano town.

The stone watchtower standing above the beach dates from the 16th century, when it served as a defensive structure against maritime invasions.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional boats near the shore, continuing maritime practices that have existed for many generations.

Visitors can access the beach through a marked path from the parking area on Route de Porto Pollo, with limited facilities available.

The beach location allows swimmers to observe both sunrise and sunset over the water due to its particular orientation between two headlands.
