Like last year, in order to welcome visitors to the Larvotto in the best possible conditions this summer season, beach reprofiling work will be carried out from 31 March to 18 April to reduce the slope that has built up considerably over the winter.

This exclusively land-based work involves levelling the mound of pebbles and reshaping the area in a way that is appropriate for the beach, guaranteeing sufficient capacity and meeting safety requirements for access to swimming areas.

To ensure the balance of marine biodiversity at the beach during this work, 120-metre retaining nets will be put in place over the water, to the right of the coves. These will protect the adjacent underwater reserve from sediment generated by the reprofiling.

To protect users, swimming will be prohibited for the duration of this work. After reprofiling is completed, swimming will remain prohibited until 30 April only in the area affected by work to reinforce beach protection, which is currently underway on the main stretch and eastern end of the cove.

Parts of the beach will remain accessible in line with the progress of the reprofiling, which will be carried out from 7.30 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 6.30 pm.

The resort’s restaurants and shops will remain open with no restrictions.

Throughout the season, regular maintenance will be carried out to maintain the width and gentle slope of the beach. This will not require any further closures. Water will remain accessible for swimming.
