Cap Corse

Cap Corse is a small peninsula in the northern part of Corsica and is made up of a variety of small villages and characteristic towns. Celebrated as both a unique natural environment and a very popular tourist destination, Cap Corse is the best place for those who want to experience both the natural splendor and rich historical, cultural and artistic charm of Corsica in one striking location. A romantic seaside getaway, Cap Corse incorporates some of the island’s best beaches, most charming villages and breathtaking coastlines.

Surrounded by both the Mediterranean Sea and the magnificent mountains of the countryside, Cap Corse is unlike anywhere else on the island. The small villages and towns which are situated on the cape are incredible symbols of Corsica’s history and deeply tied to their ancient traditions and secular culture. Each located either on the shores of the sea or at the feet of the mountains, these breathtaking towns have remained just as they were centuries ago and are havens for the diverse cultural and artistic influences of the past.

For visitors, these towns provide an unparalleled insight into Corsica’s unique history with each close in distance but completely different in culture. The town of Macinaggio is best known for its pristine, secluded beaches, whilst Nonza represents the past dominion of Genoa through its striking monuments and towers. Erbalugna, a small and delightful fishing town, is also entirely different, symbolizing perhaps the most characteristic and beautiful part of Corsica: its peasant roots and its deeply traditional past.
