Essaguia beach

Essaguia is a beach in the east of Djerba island, Tunisia. It is also known as Plage de la Seguia. This is an abandoned Club Med resort. So there is a great potential, but not much has been done to improve situation. The place is very beautiful - both the lagoon with azure water, as well as ashore. Unfortunately, there is some trash left from the visitors. And there is also problem of algae - like everywhere in Djerba. However, there is a restaurant (expensive) and sunbeds rentals (prices vary). You can also have a great time in free areas - with your own food. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

El Mouradi Djerba Menzel is a 4-star hotel with rooms' fares starting from US$70 per night. Within a walking distance from Essaguia beach, there are also many decent apartments and even villas - for about same price tag.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Djerba international airport (DJE). Next get by taxi. It is also possible to get to Djerba island by bus from the mainland. But you should better try to avoid this route.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Djerba island is a warm period from June to October. The rest of the year sea water is very cold, and it is also rainy. As for the winter, it is too cold even for sunbathing.
