The village of Centuri, located at the western tip of Cap Corse, is known for its small fishing port, which is complemented by numerous hotels and restaurants supplied by the local fishing industry, bringing in the sea's treasures daily: fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, including the renowned Centuri Lobster.

The port is a lively place where the Town Hall of Centuri is also located, along with a harbor master's office. The marine area of Centuri is distinct from the upper part of the village, separated by approximately 4 km.

The islet of Capense resembles a peninsula that erosion has separated from the coast, leaving a few rock formations emerging from the waters over 150 meters. Triangular in shape, the islet of Capense stretches over 200 meters and has some relief, with its highest point at 50 meters. It is forbidden to visit or anchor your boat around it, as access is prohibited to preserve an area for the reproduction of birds such as seagulls or cormorants, the islet being an ornithological and botanical reserve.
