OVERVIEW

Tabarka is a small town on Tunisia’s north western coast, with rocky headlands, beaches and forested hills rising behind the harbour, while fishing and tourism shape the local economy. The combination of forest hills, coral reefs and a rugged harbour around a small coastal town known for diving and summer music and town gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Diving, seafood and coastal walks provide the main experiences. The town is quieter than major resort centres, especially outside festival periods. Experiencing forest hills alongside coral reefs and a rugged harbour around a small coastal town known for diving and summer music reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
