There is only 1 flamingo on this island. When we went to the side of the boat to take pictures of it the locals started throwing rocks at it (which is probably the reason only one remains). Food was okay but they made all the women (tourists) stand up and leave the hut to carry the food in! Absolutely ridiculous to ask that of paying customers. The pirates then had the audacity to go round asking for tips with a big bucket and shaming you publicly if you didnt tip! Backwards backwards backwards.

It's a beach as any other on the Djerba coast. It's much more crowded and there are no lifeguards or buoys marking the safe egress into the sea. If you go there by organized boat tour, you get a meager meal included in the price of the excursion and a trip on a crowded boat. Nothing special - I don't recommend if you have access to any other beach on the coast- like at your hotel, for example.

Not bad as a beach, but the quad and camel guys are super annoying. Gas fumes will be your partner till you decide to leave. The sea life is poor as well so dont bother bringing any equipment with you.

The beach is amazing, very clean and few people my only complaint is that the travel agency that I was with didn't inform us previously that the parasols are not included and you should pay there.the food was very mediocre don't expect too much.also, to get to the beach part you should walk a distance so be prepared!
