The Lebanese can’t get enough of the beach during summer and for a good reason. Lebanon’s Mediterranean coast is just fabulous with vibrant beaches and restaurants, and a sea that calls for diving, swimming, and getting active with water sports.
Sun, nice weather, the sound of waves, and great vibes; this is how we could summarize the Lebanese beaches, welcoming locals and tourists during summer.
And one doesn’t need to break his/her wallet to enjoy it all and all through the season, as Lebanon has some great free to affordable beaches that are also clean and safe.
