Hazards

ROCKS Rocky Lebanese coastline — booties recommended. Sandy zones are the surf areas.
RIP NW/W swell here is gentler than at Colonel Beach a few km up the coast — the camp's sheltered position keeps any current mild and manageable for learners.
LOCALS Welcoming camp-based crowd — built for teaching, so it's one of the friendliest lineups in Lebanon.
POLLUTION Check water quality after heavy rain. Lebanese coastal water quality varies by area.

Local knowledge

Swell key NW and W swell · Beach break · More sheltered than Colonel · Good for lessons
Level All levels · Camp on-site · Best learning spot in Lebanon
