Byblos’ public beach is one of the best in Lebanon and is located just north of the harbor. In summer it fills up on the weekends. Beach chairs and umbrellas can be rented for 5,000 LBP.

If you have some money to spend, Eddé Sands (+961 (0)9 546 666, www.eddesands.com, Facebook: Edde Sands Hotel & Wellness Resort) located south of the ruins and on the former public Tam Tam beach, is a luxurious and well-maintained resort and offers jet skiing and water skiing (43,000 LBP on weekends).
