Beni Haoua is picturesquely located on the Algerian Mediterranean coast between the cities of Cherchell and Ténès. The small community is a wonderful retreat for anyone seeking authentic coastal life away from mass tourism. The combination of green hills in the hinterland and the deep blue sea makes the landscape particularly appealing. The absolute highlights of the town are its long, fine sandy beaches, which are well-suited for swimming and sunbathing. A fascinating local sight is the small mausoleum of Mama Binette. According to local legend, she was a Dutch nun who survived a shipwreck off the coast in the 19th century, was taken in by the locals, and devotedly cared for sick villagers. Her grave remains a symbol of intercultural respect today. Culinary-wise, Beni Haoua mainly provides simple but excellent fresh fish caught daily by local fishermen. Travelers can reach the town easily by car along the highly scenic N11 coastal highway. The best time to visit for a beach holiday is during the warm summer months from June to September, while spring is excellent for peaceful walks by the sea.
