Overview
La Marsa is a low-key beach settlement at the northern edge of the Sahel, popular with Tunisians seeking a quick seaside escape without venturing far from the capital. The town combines a pleasant public beach, several cafes along the water, and a modest but pleasant nightlife scene centered on the Hotel Plaza Corniche.
