By far the most stunning and unspoiled beach I've ever seen or stepped... (El Mansouri, Al Janub, Lebanon)

By far the most stunning and unspoiled beach I've ever seen or stepped foot on in Lebanon. This beach has preserved its virgin beauty because it was turned many years ago into a conservation for sea turtles and no one can access it unless he's a guest staying in the Orange House in El Mansouri.
I didn't know I could still find intact beaches like this in Lebanon, where endemic vegetation is preserved and nature is left to live and grow the way it's supposed to.
I was fascinated but also sad to realize that all our beaches could have looked like this if they hadn't been spoiled, polluted, and abused by humans.
I take my hats off to this amazing woman (Mona Khalil) who managed, all by herself, to turn this 1.5Km stretch of sandy beach into the only sea turtle reserve in the Middle East. I really wish and hope that her example will inspire more people to respect nature and work on preserving whatever is left of it.
