Cap Bon
This lovely, long, white-sand beach, also known as El Haouaria plage, is a local favourite, backed by clusters of villas and a couple of restaurants. To the north of the beach, past the port, is a rocky hill that conceals a series of perfect pebbly coves with stunningly clear water. You may even get one to yourself.
To reach the beach, follow signs for Le Port.
