💡 Tips

- Park your car in designated resort areas, as the narrow village streets can easily get congested.
- Combine your visit with a trip to nearby Byblos (10 mins away) for historical sightseeing.
- Bring water shoes, as the beach area here is often a mix of sand and pebbles.
- Most seaside restaurants are only fully operational during the summer season (May to October).
🍽 Food
At local fish taverns right by the water, the catch of the day is often grilled over charcoal.
Look for small stalls at the village entrance baking thin flatbreads with thyme or cheese fresh to order.
Try wines from the nearby Batroun region, which pair perfectly with seafood.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Ask around the village for homemade olive oil pressed from the surrounding groves.
Pick up some of the famous fresh lemonade from nearby stalls, a regional specialty.
Find a spot on the flat rocks north of the main resorts for undisturbed sounds of the waves.
A short walk through the old stone houses of the village leads to hidden viewpoints overlooking the sea.
