Les Aiguilles
Les Aiguilles de Tabarka
A row of sandstone spires about 20 metres tall on the shore west of the old harbour, sculpted into needle shapes by sea wind and waves. It is Tabarka's most photogenic spot.
Les Aiguilles stand on the seashore west of Tabarka's old harbour. They are a group of yellow-brown sandstone pillars about 20 m high. Over thousands of years, wind and waves have worn them into needle-like tips, facing the Genoese fort across the water. Beside the rocks are a seaside promenade and cafés. At sunset the stone turns golden, making it the town's most popular photo spot. It is about a 10-minute walk from the city centre and is free to visit. The rock is crumbly, so please do not climb it.
