Some of the most vivid memories I
have of my life in Algeria revolve around going to the beach.

| Ain-el-Turck Beach
During the warm months of the year – generally May to October, going to the beach was a weekly event for almost everyone living there. In those days; (First half of the 20th century), people didn’t travel much or take holidays far away from their home. The beach was the place where everyone went to cool down, enjoy water activities, meet friends and have great beach parties.

Then as now, the many beaches lining the coast west of Mers-el-Kébir offer the locals and the increasing number of Algerian tourists, an almost uninterrupted choice of white sandy beaches one can choose depending on which direction the wind blows from.

Although half a century has passed since I left Algeria, each time I return there, I still get an immense pleasure in revisiting the many places where I spent so much time during my childhood and early teens.

Les Corales beach will always a special significance for me as it is the place where I learnt to swim when I was a young boy. Each time I go back to that very spot, this significant event in my life comes back to me very clearly.

I recently discovered Madere and Sbiat beaches. These are located some manageable distance from Mers-el-Kébir but in the Fifties, my family considered these beaches a bit too far to drive to. I have to admit that we had such a great choice closer by that we never felt the need to drive that much further to enjoy a great day by the sea. I am glad however that I have discovered these spots as they are truly magnificent and certainly worth the drive.

I wasn’t sure how to get started with government sales, especially with all the rules and paperwork around GSA schedules. Luckily, I found a solid team through this site who really knew the process inside out. Working with their GSA contract specialist made everything way more manageable. They helped me avoid mistakes and actually get listed without wasting time. Super helpful if you’re new to federal contracts and want someone who knows what they’re doing.
