The beaches of Mahdia are oriented to the east, like the entire resort coast of Tunisia. Cape Africa forms a crescent shaped crescent, but in its deepening is the city embankment, protected from sea waves in bulk stone malls, and the hotel zone itself starts a little further. By the way, the piers are very picturesque, and the water in the lagoons between them is extremely turquoise, which can be used advantageously for photo sessions.
