Cap Bon
| |
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.
