I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I dont like eating fish. And I know that's very popular out there in Africa. That's what Britney Spears said in an interview once... But fear not, Africa has some great beaches too.

Tunisia

Although the birthplace of the Arab Spring, Tunisia is quickly getting back on its feet and doing what it does best show off some of the worlds most beautiful beaches tailored specifically for independent travellers. Tunisian beaches are among the very best beaches in the Mediterranean, no doubt. The Tunisian coastline makes up 810 km of snowy white sand and pristine waters and its no suprise millions of tourists flock the place all year round.

Menzel Tmim & El Hawaria

Ask any local and they will tell you this is the place to go for the cleanest most azure waters. While the majority of tourists flock to Sousse and Hammamet, the locals will go to Manzil Tmim and El Hawaria for some peace, quiet and crystalline waters. Perhaps the only issue with these places is accommodation there is no amazing quality accommodation. Manzil Tmim is itself a small town well off the beaten tourist track located on Cape Bon, a peninsula in far northeastern Tunisia. Theres not much to do, but if you want to get away from the tourists and swim in beautiful warm water - this is the very place to go.

The Island of Djerba

South from Cape Bon is North Africas largest island Djerba. Its has a small population of 65,000 but thousands of French, German and Italian tourists come here every year to enjoy the beautiful beaches and dramatic sunsets. The north eastern point of the island is where you will find the beach hotels but there are plenty of opportunities to do other-less hotel orientated activities like camel trekking and 4-wheel driving. Dont miss out on the sightseeing and make sure you enjoy the nightlife.
