The Pier of Burgas, stretching nearly 300 metres into the Black Sea, is a defining feature of the city’s coastline. Originally constructed in 1936 and revitalised in 2013, it features a 22-metre-high viewing platform and serves as a departure point for boat trips to Saint Anastasia Island. A popular spot for leisurely walks or morning runs, the Pier also hosts the annual Epiphany cross-throwing ceremony, blending natural beauty with cultural tradition.

La Marsa offers a refined coastal escape just north of Carthage, where the creatives of Tunis mingles with sunseekers along a lively corniche. The main beach draws families for summer swims, while off-season sees fishermen casting lines from the sand. What distinguishes this stretch is its evolving cultural scene: skateboarders carve concrete slopes by day as musicians strum under the palms, creating an organic performance space above the shore. The neighborhood’s architectural legacy reveals its bourgeois roots. Whitewashed villas with intricate mashrabiya screens stand guard along avenues lined with jacaranda trees. Recent years have brought a creative influx, with designers and musicians transforming old seaside residences into studios. While the western edges fade into industrial zones, the heart of La Marsa retains its aspirational charm, particularly around Avenue Habib Bourguiba where pavement cafés serve mint tea with Mediterranean views.
