شاطئ المرسى, Mediterranean beach in La Marsa, Tunisia.
La Marsa Plage is a sandy beach along the Mediterranean coast offering a wide stretch of shoreline with clear water ideal for swimming. The area has a natural open layout that makes it easy to walk along the water's edge.
In the 19th century, La Marsa became a favored summer retreat where Tunisian rulers built palatial residences along this coast. This period established the area as an important location tied to regional power and influence.
This sandy shore serves as a social hub where both residents and visitors gather to spend time by the water and enjoy the Mediterranean setting. Local families treat it as a natural gathering place during the warmer season.
The beach is most accessible and well equipped during the summer months from June through September. Plan your visit during this season if you want to find loungers and full services available along the shore.
From this shoreline you can see the Presidential Palace of Carthage sitting on an adjacent hilltop. This view makes the beach experience noteworthy for its unexpected connection to a significant landmark.
