El Saguia Beach (Plage de la Seguia), Djerba

El Saguia Beach — on maps in Arabic as الساقية, and often written Plage de la Seguia — is a relaxed stretch of fine sand on the south-east shore of Djerba, between the resort area of Aghir and the headland of Ras Lalla Hadria. Backed by a steady sea breeze and fronted by calm, clear turquoise water, it has a reputation as one of the island's quieter, less-kept-secret coves: easy enough to reach, yet uncrowded even in high season. It suits travellers who want a laid-back beach day rather than a resort strip: long, soft golden sand, gentle waves good for swimming, and sky full of colourful kites when the afternoon wind fills. The catch is its low-key charm — facilities are minimal, so it rewards visitors who pack water, shade and a plan to leave no trace behind.
