Airport Carthage (TUN) · 115 km · 1h 40min
Note At the very tip of Cap Bon, where the Gulf of Tunis meets the open sea — completely shadowed from Mistral, but its exposed eastern tip catches more of the rarer E/NE swell than anywhere else on this coast.

Parking

Cost Free
Surface Free beach car parks · ~120 spaces
Fills by Quiet fishing/resort town · Best Sep–Apr for wind/swell overlap
Walk to water ~3 min
Facilities Full small-town services · Byzantine fortress, historic fishing port

Hazards

SANDBAR Open sandy beach break at the exposed tip of the peninsula — banks respond to E/NE swell events.
RIP E/NE swell builds a beach-break rip on bigger days — nothing unusual, but no lifeguard so be self-sufficient.
LOCALS Small watersports scene — kitesurfers and windsurfers share the water more than a dedicated surf crew.
WIND-DEPENDENT SWELL This coast needs active wind to hold a wave — the swell decays fast once the wind drops, so check real-time wind, not just swell height.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid tide · rising
Peak season Sep–Apr · E/NE swell (shadowed from Mistral, catches more E swell than the Gulf of Hammamet)
Swell key E/NE swell · Exposed peninsula tip · Best with offshore W/SW wind · Needs active wind to hold shape
Level Beginner–intermediate · Sandy · Genuinely wind-dependent
Dawn patrol Check that the wind is actively blowing, not just a swell forecast — these short-period wind-swells fade fast once it drops.
