Foum Labouir Beach
Oum Labouir
A surfing beach on the Atlantic side of the northern peninsula, where a reef below the cliffs produces consistent right-hand waves, complementing the calm lagoon waters.
This beach lies about 8 km north of the town, on the west coast of the peninsula. Surf camps and hotels are scattered along the cliff tops, and the reef below forms consistent right-hand waves suited to experienced surfers. On calmer days, you can walk the sand, watch seabirds and observe fishermen. The waves are large and the rip currents strong here, so it is not suitable for ordinary swimming. You can reach it by taxi or car from the town, and the sunset over the cliffs in the evening is popular.
