9 Things That Happen On Your First Beach Visit In Lebanon

Beach season is here y’all, and Lebanese people are currently trying to catch the first rays of the summer sun in hopes of getting the best tan as soon as possible.

Here’s what’s going to happen during your first beach outing.


1. Once you’re undressed, you’ll be shocked at how pale you really are


2. …so you slather yourself with tanning oils and creams


3. Your face is a sahen labneh

Courtesy of all the SPF you applied of course.


4. The water is freezing cold but you jump in anyway

Do you wanna live on the edge and pretend that it’s not freezing cold? You do you.


5. You sit half-under / half-outside the umbrella

To try and balance catching most of the rays while also staying in the shade.


6. You think this is the year you can finally go for long walks by the beach

Once you attempt to do that that:
1) You’ll burn your feet
2) Realize there’s more broken Almaza glass bottles than actual beach rocks on the beach


7. You make that necessarily post-beach stop at either Munchease or Helado

Because tradition.


8. You discover your body

Not in an intimate way of course, but under the bare sunlight you discover scars, pimples, and all that shit you never noticed before.


9. You face that annual jellyfish scare

This ALWAYS happens: you think that this white object (most probably a plastic bag) is a jellyfish then you remember that not one marine creature would willingly want to live in the Lebanese sea.
