La Marsa Beach
شاطئ المرسى
The most popular urban beach on the northern outskirts of Tunis, with cafés lining the seaside boulevard and specialty ice creams and desserts to try.
La Marsa is an upscale seaside suburb north of central Tunis. Its long sandy beach and seaside boulevard (Corniche) are the locals' first choice in summer. Along the coast are many cafés, ice cream shops and seafood restaurants. Saf-Saf Café has an old well with camel-driven water-lifting demonstrations. The area has French-style villas and a market, and its atmosphere is more relaxed than the city centre. Take the TGM suburban light rail to the final stop, La Marsa, and it is only two stops from Sidi Bou Said, so the two can be combined.
