Bousfer Beach is generally safe for swimming and attracts many families, particularly during summer months. The sandy bottom and gradual entry make it suitable for children, though supervision is always necessary. During peak season, the beach usually has some safety presence, but formal lifeguard availability varies. Water conditions are typically calm, though wind and currents can change. The beach serves a resort area with good accessibility and reasonable facilities. As with any beach, check current conditions before swimming and be aware that weekends and holidays bring larger crowds requiring extra vigilance with children.

For fewer crowds at Bousfer Beach, visit during weekdays in May, June, or September when weather remains pleasant but school schedules and peak tourism season reduce visitor numbers. Early mornings any day of the week offer the most peaceful experience. Avoid weekends year-round and especially Friday through Sunday during July and August when the beach fills with families from Oran and surrounding areas. Late afternoon can be lovely for sunset views with moderating crowds. October still offers decent weather with minimal crowds, though water temperatures begin cooling.
