I enjoyed the beautiful view of the beach, but unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience with the crowd. However, the beach itself was stunning with its white, fine sand. It's worth noting that the city has transitioned from being predominantly Muslim to a more diverse and cosmopolitan community.

The beach is quite pleasant, but unfortunately, it is littered with garbage. It would be great if people could refrain from dumping their waste on the beach. Additionally, the sand is fine and white, which adds to the beauty of the area.

Although this place was once considered one of the best beaches in the world, it has unfortunately been turned into a landfill for hotels due to the government's reckless tourism policies. However, the beach itself still has white, fine sand. For those looking for alternative options, I recommend visiting the beaches in Mahdia or Marina in Monastir (although Marina is a bit small). If you're up for an adventure, check out Jazirat Sidi al Ghudamisi Island near Marina beach. While there are no beaches there, you can explore the high altitude rocks and deep sea for a truly amazing experience.
