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

37°04.8′N, 11°02.2′E
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.
