Las Marsa is a small, seaside suburb in far northeastern Tunisia near the capital of Tunis. It is a very popular vacation spot for middle-class Tunisians. This charming, beachside town is ideal for a relaxing holiday by the beach but with ease of access to the bustling city of Tunis, the ancient sites of Carthage, and the scenic Sidi Bou Said, an attractive blue and white village featuring cobbled streets, shopping, and French-Tunisian cuisine. ...

La Marsa features a promenade lined with French Colonial villas, and a small selection of hotels and classy restaurants. The main feature of interest is the market square surrounded by buildings of the Hafsid period. At the right-hand end of the square is the Café Saf-Saf, a big, partly outdoor, shaded coffeehouse built around a Hafsid fountain. People congregate at the Café Saf-Saf to play cards, chess, or backgammon, smoke a hookah, or sip tea or coffee. Visitors will be surprised to see a snow-white camel that draws water from the well.
Other attractions include the North African American Cemetary and Memorial, a 27-acre American Battle Monument that honours those Americans who lost their lives in WWII, the St. Louis Cathedral, a Roman Catholic cathedral that is no longer used for worship but hosts concerts of Tunisian music and classical music and the challenging 18-hole Golf de Carthage course.
For those who seek rejuvenation, La Marsa beaches provide an optimal setting for sun worship and beachcombing. For true rest and relaxation, SellOffVacations.com will assist you in planning a truly delightful visit to La Marsa.
