Guide
Approach and anchoring
Approach from the Gulf of Saint-Florent on a NW heading. Sand bottom visible through clear water, drop the hook in 2 to 5 m. Keep clear of the swimming zone marked by yellow buoys in summer. Shelter from W, SW and S. Exposed to the Libeccio when it veers NW and to the Tramontane from the N.
Practical
No facilities ashore, no water, no fuel. Tender landing on sand. The passenger shuttle Le Popeye runs from Saint-Florent several times a day in season. Nearest full services at Saint-Florent 3.7 NM SE.
Ashore
The beach sits between two headlands inside the Agriates protected zone. The Sentier du Littoral heads west to Saleccia in about 1 hour, and a marked track climbs inland toward Pointe Mortella 2 km north. No road, no village, no shops.
Story
The name Loto comes from the Corsican lotu, meaning mud, a reference to the seasonal brackish pond behind the dunes that dries out in summer.
