Built along a rocky promontory 9km north of Bastia on the east coast of Cap Corse on the northern tip of Corsica, Erbalunga is considered to be one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Corsica and officially classed as a historic monument. The village itself is a conservation area with examples of the old houses of notable landed gentry built among those of the local fishermen.  

The small port was once part of the landholdings of the powerful Gentile family. Not far away in the hamlet of Castello are the remains of the family’s 13 th century castle. The family of a famous French writer, poet and philosopher Paul Valéry originated from Erbalunga, where you can still see the family chapel.

The nearest beach is 6km north at the tiny seaside village of Marine de Sisco. The only white sandy beach on Cap Corse is at Pietracorbara, 9km north of Erbalunga.
