Bordj El Bahri

Bordj El Bahri can be considered for a water-focused trip through two topics: a water sports school with a training mission and beach information from 2016. They answer different questions. The school focuses on disciplines and nurturing young talent; the beach information concerns past bathing approvals and a closure at the time. This distinction matters if you want to include a sporting interest in your travel plans or are considering a visit to the beach.

Water Sports and Training

The Ecole Nationale des Sports Nautiques et Subaquatiques in Bordj El Bahri offers training in swimming, sailing and scuba diving. A ministry webpage published on May 29, 2025, lists these training areas. The school’s responsibilities also include introducing, training and supporting young sporting talents. Its mission is therefore aimed at a clearly defined target group. For travelers, the three disciplines help narrow down a sporting interest: swimming, sailing and scuba diving are listed as separate training areas. If you would like to take part in an activity yourself, check directly in advance whether participation is possible for you. When making an inquiry, it is best to name the discipline you are interested in so it is clear whether you are asking about swimming, sailing or scuba diving.

Four Beaches in Information from 2016

Information dated July 26, 2016, lists four beaches in the municipality of Bordj El Bahri as approved for bathing: Les Ondines-Nord, Les Ondines-Sud, La Frégate and La Cigogne. Together, they extend over 3 km. This figure is the combined total length of the four named beaches, not a separate measurement for each one. The date is also relevant for travel planning: the bathing approval dates from 2016 and is not current bathing guidance. If you are planning a day at the beach, check the current status.

Coco Plage: Length and Restrictions at the Time

A description from 2016 classifies Coco Plage differently: it gives the beach a length of 300 m and describes it as unsupervised. At the same time, bathing was prohibited there because of pollution associated with discharges from Oued El Hamiz. The information about supervision and the bathing ban belongs to the description at the time. The 300 m refers to Coco Plage alone; the 3 km mentioned earlier applies to the four beaches together. This keeps the individual and combined measurements distinct. The closure, too, should be understood as a condition in 2016, not as a current bathing recommendation.

In the first case, check directly whether participation is possible; in the second, check the current bathing status. The beach names provide specific starting points for your research, while the year 2016 marks the timeframe for their bathing status.
