Corniche Beirut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Corniche Beirut is a seaside promenade in Beirut, Lebanon. Lined with palm trees, the waterfront boulevard offers visitors a magnificent view of the Mediterranean and the summits of Mount Lebanon to the east.
The Corniche is a popular destinations for walkers, joggers and bikers. Push cart vendors offer an array of local snacks and drinks.[1]
In the summer of 2007, the distinctive blue railings were replaced, due to severe rusting, with a sleeker-looking aluminum railing that has been modified to make it more difficult for thrill-seekers to dive off the railings.
[edit] Location
The Corniche encircles the Beirut promontory from the Saint George Bay on the northern coast of the city, turning west into Place Rafic Hariri, then into Avenue de Paris and the Raouché, and finally into Avenue General de Gaulle.
