Review: Our top pick for FAMILY-FRIENDLY BEACH RESORTS in LEBANON.

7/11/2016

Lebanon’s coast is dotted with various beach options, (regardless how polluted some may be) we can't resist passing our summers without visiting some! However, for lots of parents, the main question is:
​Which ones are family-friendly? Which are suitable to take our little ones too?
​
There are so many beautiful beach resorts in Lebanon. The following selected places are my personal favorite "FAMILY beach resorts" and our go to destinations for the past summers. Scattered across this small, yet beautiful country. It is because of destinations like these that help Lebanon in regaining it’s once proclaimed title: “Paris of the Middle East”!

So, for all our fellow parents who are constantly wondering where to take their little ones and which beaches are more Family / Kid's friendly, here is a small review guide for you!

Hi, thank you for putting this together! would be great if you could add the locations of each beach resort, as otherwise we have to look all of them up to find a convenient location.
