A stroll around Propriano harbour

For a leisurely stroll infused with sea air, Propriano’s port de plaisance is a must-see. Nestling in the heart of the town, at the head of the Gulf of Valinco, it appeals to visitors and locals alike, whatever the season.

🚶 An unmissable event

A walk all year round

Walk along the pier, admiring the sailboats, fishing boats, and moored pleasure craft. This path will take you to the commercial port and one of the symbols of the town: the Scoglio Longo lighthouse. Standing 17 metres high, it guides sailors with its white and green sector light, which illuminates every 12 seconds. It is undoubtedly Propriano’s most photographed landmark.

At the foot of the lighthouse, relax on a magnificent golden sandy beach, approximately 400 metres long. An ideal spot for a break, sunbathing or a moment of contemplation.

🎶 Festive atmosphere in the port

Evening entertainment

When the sun begins to set and the heat becomes milder, Propriano’s harbour changes face. As night falls, it becomes a vibrant place to stroll and meet people. The quays gradually light up, the terraces fill up, and the sea air mingles with the scents of local cuisine. During the summer season, particularly in July and August, the port comes alive in the evenings.

Open-air concerts, often free of charge, are organised directly on the quayside or in the immediate vicinity. Local musicians, Corsican groups or visiting artists create a warm, festive atmosphere, where locals and holidaymakers come together in a good-natured atmosphere.

The bars, ice-cream parlours and restaurants lining the harbour also contribute to this effervescence. Some establishments offer themed evenings, live music, or friendly entertainment for young and old. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a dish of fresh fish, sip a drink on the terrace or simply admire the reflections of the lights on the water.

This unique night-time atmosphere, both relaxed and lively, makes the port of Propriano an unmissable meeting place to end the day in style.
