Plage Menzel Temime

Cap Bon


Off the beaten track for most travellers but lurking in plain sight, the town beach in Menzel Temime stretches for several kilometres. This slice of paradise is generally clean and quiet in the mornings; locals turn up in the afternoon to enjoy the sun and sand.

It's signposted as 'plage' from the main road through town.
