Hundreds joined the event held yesterday at Kfaraabida to protest against the decision to turn the rocky facade into a private yacht club and a huge touristic resort. They came with their boats, enjoyed the crystal clear water, swam with the turtles, jumped off the naturally formed rocks and camped on site.
We don’t need more private resorts on the beach. We don’t need further privatization and pollution. The beach belongs to everyone and it should remain that way.
Here’s how Kfaraabida’s disrespectful head of municipality reacted to those opposing the project:

Check out this [beautiful article] on Kfaraabida that I found yesterday.
Honestly, I don’t get the outcry. Doesn’t look like the Maldives to me. Just another rocky beach. The Lebanese coast is full of rocks. Funny that Lebos only started flocking to the beach when they heard about the plan to build a resort. If they weren’t so willing to shell out $50 to enter a beach, there would be no resorts in the first place.
Scam detector, it’s seems that you didn’t detect this rocky beach yet! maybe because you pay 50$ to go to resorts. keep your lousy comments for yourself!
