Open Sea
Swimming straight off the rocks, with the Pigeon Rocks in view. The Mediterranean as it is — salt, sun, open water — and the reason confident swimmers keep coming back.
Pools and Open-Sea Access
Swimming Facilities
Three saltwater pools and open-sea swimming at the tip of Ras Beirut. Each pool is refilled with fresh seawater every 48 hours, so the water stays clear and light on chemicals — gentle on the skin, easy on the eyes. Open year-round, the same water members have swum since 1953.
33 Meter Pool
The 33-metre pool, for training, fitness, and distance swimming. Refilled with fresh seawater every 48 hours — clear, low on chemicals, comfortable for daily laps and sensitive skin.
25 Meter Pool
The 25-metre pool, for everyday swimmers and families. Refilled with seawater every 48 hours; lower chemical levels mean less sting for eyes and skin. An easy, reliable swim at any age.
Children's Pool
A shallow pool for toddlers and young swimmers finding their confidence. Refilled daily with clean seawater — gentle on small skin, and a safe place to splash and learn.
Salt Water Pools, Thoughtfully Maintained
Our salt water pools are maintained with advanced robotic cleaning systems to ensure consistent cleanliness every day. Designed to use fewer chemicals than traditional pools, salt water offers a fresher, more comfortable swim while supporting a naturally clean environment. The result is clear water, gentle on the skin, and carefully maintained to high hygiene standards, so you can relax and enjoy the pool with confidence.

Sporting Club is one of Beirut's classic seaside places. The view is amazing, the vibes are relaxed, and the service is good. Always a nice place to spend time.

Amazing beach club from the 50s. The best in Beirut. Great views, simple aesthetics, very calm and no music. Food is good and the service is great.
