Jijel and its corniche
Jijel, on Algeria's north-east coast, is known for its corniche: west of the city, the N43 road to Béjaïa runs along the sea on the cliffside, with coves, small beaches and views over the Mediterranean.
Along that road, the Grottes merveilleuses ("marvellous caves") of Ziama Mansouriah, about 35 km west of Jijel, are the best-known visit. Taza National Park, a recognised biosphere reserve, combines sandy beaches, cliffs and caves.
Which beaches in Jijel?
To the west the coast is mostly rocky: Kotama and La Crique are among the best-known beaches, along with the Grand Phare beach below the Ras El Afia lighthouse, the Plage rouge and El Aouana beach.
To the east the coast turns flat and sandy, with long beaches such as Sidi Abdelaziz: a good choice for families who prefer sand to rocks.
Hotels in Jijel: city centre or seafront?
In the city centre, Hotel Taghrast, on avenue du 1er-Novembre, is handy for exploring on foot. By the sea, Hotel Dar El Aaz is in the Errabta district, a few minutes from the centre, with sea views from some rooms.
July and August are the swimming months, but also the busiest, with traffic jams on the corniche: book early for summer. June and September are quieter.

Jijel has its own airport, Ferhat Abbas; routes change from one season to the next, so check what is available on your dates. By road, the corniche links Jijel to Béjaïa; traffic is heavy in summer, so set off early.
