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”!
