Chetaibi, formerly known as Herbillon, is located in a spectacular bay in eastern Algeria, west of Annaba. The village clings to the slopes of mountains that drop steeply into the Mediterranean, offering a unique combination of maritime charm and mountainous landscape. Chetaibi Bay is considered one of the country's most beautiful, featuring beaches like Plage Baie Ouest and Plage de Chetabi, known for their fine sand. Particularly appealing are the secluded coastal sections such as Plage Coucha and Plage Bassen, which offer crystal-clear water and a peaceful atmosphere. Radma Beach and Galgamez Beach are also popular destinations for nature lovers. The village has maintained its authentic character as a fishing community, where visitors can watch fishermen bring in their daily catch. The local cuisine is famous for its fish dishes and fresh seafood. The surrounding area invites hiking through pine and cork oak forests that reach right down to the shore. Chetaibi is a convenient spot for travelers wishing to discover the real Algeria away from major cities. The sunsets over Baie Ouest are legendary and provide an incomparable panorama. Despite its relative remoteness, it is a popular weekend getaway for residents of nearby Annaba.
