Lozari Beach (Belgodère): tips and photos

Why go to Lozari

Lozari, which the commune spells Losari, is an open bay beside the T30, 7 km east of L’Île-Rousse. The sand stretches for about 1.5 km, from the mouth of the Regino to the cliffs of Punta d’Arcu. It is presented as the beach of Belgodère, but the north-eastern third of the sand lies in the commune of Palasca.

To the south-west and in the middle, the land behind the beach has stayed open: meadows, olive trees and coastal grassland. Nearly 50 hectares have belonged to the Conservatoire du littoral, the public body that protects the French coastline, since 2010. Cars stay in parking areas set back from the shore, and the sand is a few minutes away on foot.

Type of beach: sand, water and swimming

The tourist office describes thick sand and a gentle slope, popular with families. The beach faces north-west: at the end of the day, the sun goes down over Punta di Losari.

According to recent averages (2023-2025) from the Open-Meteo Marine dataset, the water reaches about 23 °C in June, 26 °C in July and August, and 24 °C in September. In May, it stays around 18 °C.

No 2026 source confirms that the beach is supervised: ask on site or check with the commune of Belgodère. If flags are flying, follow them. At sea, boating and anchoring near the shore are governed by the maritime prefect’s orders.

A watersports centre operates on the beach (paddleboarding, sailing), according to the tourist office and the Agence du tourisme de la Corse (the Corsican tourist board).

The parts of the beach

To the south-west, the Regino reaches the sea and cuts through the sand: the sand bar formed at its mouth. Right next to it, the Casa di Losari, a restored former farmhouse, serves as the site’s visitor centre and welcomes the public in summer. This is where the first entrance and the first car park are. Further west, Punta di Losari carries the ruins of a tower.

You reach the middle by the second entrance and its dirt road. The path runs alongside sand fences, the wooden barriers that hold the dune sand in place.

To the north-east, in the commune of Palasca, the beach runs past a holiday village before ending at the foot of the cliffs of Punta d’Arcu.

A Conservatoire du littoral site

The commune bought this land in 2006, then handed it over to the Conservatoire du littoral in 2010. Since 2013, the Conservatoire and the commune have restored it: rubbish removed, power lines buried, the chapel of Notre-Dame de Losari repaired. The sand itself is not part of the site (it belongs to the public maritime domain), but the beach lies within the ZNIEFF Basse vallée du Regino et terrasse sablo-graveleuse de Lozari, an inventory of notable natural habitats (not a legal protection).

As on all Conservatoire sites, camping, bivouacking, fires and motor vehicles off authorised tracks are banned; horses are allowed only from 9am to 7pm. The coastal wardens of the Collectivité de Corse look after the site.

When to go

In high summer, come in the morning if you can. In June and September, the sea is already or still at 23 or 24 °C, but check with the commune whether the beach is supervised. From 1 May to 30 October, dogs must stay on a lead. Out of season, the Casa di Losari no longer welcomes the public, and the bus runs only on weekdays.
