This is definitively the best spot in Lebanon during the biggest storms/swell since it's protected from the south by the Point of Chekka. The spot is situated right after passing the tunnel of Chekka (~50 km from Beirut). there's a long pier perpendicular to the sandy beach. The point is on the left of the Pier. Beautiful rights.The pictures unfortunately were taken on the inside break.... Enjoy....
