Cornish Quay

Corniche embankment is one of the most beloved seaside promenades of locals and visitors in Beirut, where you can admire the beautiful landscapes of the Lebanese ridge and magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Corniche embankment covers a large stretch of Beirut city, from the beginning of Avenue de Paris to St. George’s motor yacht club on Avenue Rafiqa el Hariri. From the Corniche embankment you can see the famous Pigeon Rocks, which rise above the sea just a few dozen meters from the shore. By the way, on the embankment you can even smoke a hookah, if it is convenient to sit at a table in a cafe. From here you can also see the buildings damaged during the war. The striking contrast of modern architecture and dilapidated buildings contribute to the atmosphere on the Corniche Embankment. The favorite activities of vacationers in this place are fishing and diving, here they like to walk, run and ride a bicycle. Here you can relax well on cozy benches under palm trees or in local restaurants and cafes, of which there are a lot on the Corniche embankment.
