Background
Cap Bon (Cape Bon), also known as Sharik Peninsula or Shariq Peninsula, is a peninsula in far northeastern Tunisia south of the Gulf of Tunis. It is notorious for its high winds and confused seas. Yet on the lee of the cape there is a good anchorage very convenient for boats either to or from Sidi Bou Said, the marina of Tunis.

Anchorages

Anchor on the northern lee side of the Cape. Here despite the wind it is usually very calm. There are no facilities here, just a safe anchorage away from everything.
Warning: There are large underwater rocks where your anchor or anchor line can foul. Look carefuly where you anchor and allow for a lot of swinging.
