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....
When you're cought on the inside the break can be very powerful so you can climb on the pier and walk pass the break and go back in the water. After the Tunnel first main exit is Chekka. When you're out go toward the beach then go south for about 1 km. There is a very small sign on the right that says " Sandy Beach" take this narrow street which will get you to the spot. On the map it's between Tam Tam and Tripoli This spot breaks only when the waves at Tam Tam or in Batroun are more than 2 meters....
