Corniche Beirut, Seaside esplanade in central Beirut, Lebanon.
The 4.8-kilometer Corniche wraps around the Beirut promontory, connecting Saint George Bay to Rafic Hariri Avenue with Mediterranean Sea views.
The Corniche originated from Avenue des Français, constructed during the Mandate for Syria and Lebanon period along the seafront near the old town.
Ceramic-covered benches designed by artist Lena Kelekian in 2001 line the promenade, adding color to the public space.
Palm tree-lined paths accommodate walkers, joggers, and cyclists, while street vendors sell local snacks and refreshments throughout the day.
Palm trees along the esplanade display bullet marks from the Lebanese Civil War, preserving a physical record of historical events.
