Tunisian Mainland (Tunisia)

The charming, idyllic beaches on the north and east coastlines provide a holiday paradise for water sports fans with a particularly diverse selection of water sports to be found on the beaches of Hammamet, Monastir and Sousse.
Offerings on the beaches with their excellent tourist infrastructures range from surfing and water skiing to fun activities such as banana boating and paragliding. The white, powder-fine sand beaches and palm trees create a Caribbean feeling in which to swim or sunbathe. Diving enthusiasts will discover the best conditions for experience-rich diving trips in the coral reefs off the coast in the region of Tabarka in the north of Tunisia.
A relatively new sport is beach sailing, an activity for which the wide coastal strips of Tunisia are ideal. The sport entails participants whizzing along the shoreline on three wheels just above the ground with the assistance of a sail. In recent years, the necessary equipment has become available at hotels. The majority of the hotels feature tennis courts and offer leisure options as standard. Golf is also experiencing increasing popularity: a new course is opened almost every year. The northern mountainous region is a popular destination for hunters and hikers. During the winter, hunters meet in Ain Drahim, a mountain town close to Tabarka, to hunt wild boars in the vast forests that are rich in cork oaks.
