Erbaju beach, Sand beach on southwest coast of Corsica, France
Erbaju is a sand beach on Corsica's southwest coast between Sartène and Bonifacio. The wide, light-colored shore extends for several kilometers and forms natural dunes that rise from the sea toward the inland landscape.
A Genoese tower stands on the heights above the beach and dates from a time when Corsica needed protection from sea attacks. This fortification was part of a broader network that defended the island.
The beach belongs to the Sartène area, a place with typical Corsican stone buildings and narrow lanes. Visitors who arrive here feel the connection between the coast and the mountainous interior.
To reach the beach, park at nearby Roccapina beach and follow blue-marked trails. The walk takes about 30 minutes, but the path is well marked and relatively easy to follow.
At the northern end of the beach, the Ortolo River meets the sea and creates small, isolated sandy coves. This river mouth forms a special landscape where fresh water and saltwater meet.
