A long sandy beach south of Beirut offering bump-and-jump conditions — locals say it can run a full two wind-force levels stronger than spots further north on the same day.

Getting thereAbout 30km south of Beirut International Airport, roughly a 30-minute drive down the southern coastal highway. A private car or taxi is necessary; parking at local beach clubs or resorts like Jiyeh Marina Resort, which may charge an entry or parking fee. Public sandy beaches or partner beach club launches are the best access.
HazardsSubmerged rocks and jetty walls, notably the 'Mustafa's' jetty structures, create localized wave breaks. The spot transitions quickly to deep water with a real shorebreak, and offshore wind transitions can occur without much warning.
Best time of dayAfternoon, as thermal gradients trigger reliable sea breezes peaking after midday — worth aligning sessions with this window for consistent onshore/side-onshore strength.
