Mostaganem beaches: Sablettes, Salamandre, Ouréah, Sidi Mansour and where to stay

Mostaganem is the main seaside destination of western Algeria, and most families head for the same place: Les Sablettes. But the coast has other, quieter beaches too.

Les Sablettes

In Mazagran, on the edge of Mostaganem, Les Sablettes is one of the longest and busiest beaches in the west, with most of the area's hotels, bungalows and holiday residences. Much of the sand is taken in summer by paying private beaches or hotel beaches; ask whether beach access is included in your stay.

La Salamandre

Between Mostaganem and Mazagran, near the port, La Salamandre is a small, urban resort below the dunes and the Ouréah forest.

Ouréah

A little further south, Ouréah beach borders the forest of the same name, a more natural setting a few minutes' drive from Les Sablettes.

Sidi Mansour, on the Oran road

West, in Fornaka between Mostaganem and Oran, Sidi Mansour is a large family beach.

Kharouba and Mostaland

North of the city, Kharouba is home to Mostaland, Mostaganem's leisure park, with an amusement park and a water park nearby. See our guide to hotels with water slides in Algeria.

Towards the east: Zina Beach

On Chaibia beach in Abdelmalek Ramdane, Zina Beach Resort & Spa is a popular resort with pools and a spa. It cannot be booked on our site at the moment.
