4 Frustrating

Do not visit this beach on holidays or Sundays, especially during the summer, as it tends to become overcrowded with disrespectful teenagers (JBOURA). Before you even realize it, you may find them sitting next to you without any courtesy of asking.

The beach is small but cozy, with clean seawater.

I think this beach is the kind of place you visit mainly because it's nearby, rather than being your top choice from the list of beaches in North Tunisia. The beach and water are clean, but there's something about it that makes it less appealing. Overall, it's not too bad.

The beach is pleasant, although it tends to be quite busy most of the time.

It's a great place to escape from the chaos of the city. The beach is beautiful and well-maintained, although the water may not be crystal clear, it's certainly invigorating.
