💡 Tips

  • Renting a car is highly recommended to explore the hidden coves, as public transport along the coastal road is infrequent.
  • Bring your own beach umbrella as natural shade is scarce on the rocky pebble beaches.
  • Greet locals with 'Azul' (hello in Berber) to quickly win their smiles and honor Kabyle traditions.
  • Weekends (Friday and Saturday) see the beaches fill up; visit on weekdays for a quieter experience.
