Coupled with the hot temperature from the equator, Algeria is an interesting spot to find a beach and cool down. The best part is that there is not just one beach- there are many across the coast of the North African nation.
From Béjaïa to Oran, there are different beaches that present a beautiful view of the North African coast, as well as the ports that are used for the country's maritime businesses. Here's a list of some of the best beaches to visit in Algeria
Oran
Considered the second busiest city after Algeria's capital of Algier - Oran is a port town that is renown for its vibrant culture, history and its beach.
Located west of central Oran is Madagh Beach, a secluded beach that some consider a palazzo by its visitors, who upon entry to the beach , are greeted by a multitude of bright tents and umbrellas that look over the Alborran trees.
