Tyre Coast Nature Reserve, Nature reserve and Ramsar site on Mediterranean coast in Tyre, Lebanon
The reserve encompasses 380 hectares of sandy beaches, agricultural zones, and conservation areas, including the Phoenician springs of Ras El Ain.
The Ras El Ain springs within the reserve provided water to ancient Tyre through a system of stone reservoirs and Roman aqueducts.
The reserve maintains a balance between ecological preservation and local activities, with sections designated for public recreation and protected wildlife zones.
Visitors can access the northern section of the reserve for swimming and beach activities, while the conservation zones require special permissions.
The nature reserve serves as a nesting ground for Loggerhead and Green sea turtles, with protected nesting periods from May through October.
