- Les Aiguilles: The jagged sandstone spires rising from the sea just outside Tabarka. Walk the coastal edge for angles that put the pillars against open water, and expect the stone to glow when the sun is low.
- Genoese Fort (Borj Jedid): A 16th-century stronghold on a rocky islet joined to the town by a causeway. The climb to the top gives wide views over the harbor and coast.
- Tabarka Port and Causeway: Fishing boats, café terraces and the link to the island. It is the easiest spot for a coffee and a slow look at the fort.
- Basilica Museum: A former church that now houses Roman and early Christian mosaics from ancient Thabraca, mostly funerary scenes. It is small and quick, and it explains the town’s older layers.
- Tabarka Beaches: Pale sand and clear water in a sheltered bay, calmer than much of

- Tabarka Beaches: Pale sand and clear water in a sheltered bay, calmer than much of the open north coast. Summer brings umbrellas and crowds, while the shoulder months bring space.
- Coral Coast Diving: The waters around Tabarka have long been known for red coral, and local dive clubs run trips over rocky seabeds. Visibility is best in warmer months.
- Ain Draham Cork Oak Forests: The wooded hills above Tabarka are among the greenest, wettest landscapes in Tunisia. Stone houses and forest walks make a cooler contrast to the shore.
