Rouche Sea Rock, also known as Pigeon Rocks, is a iconic natural landmark on Beirut's western coastline. These towering limestone sea stacks rise dramatically from the Mediterranean, shaped by centuries of wind and wave erosion. Visitors can stroll along the Corniche promenade, which offers panoramic views of the rocks and the sea. The area is particularly popular at sunset when the rocks are bathed in golden light. Cafés and restaurants line the nearby avenue, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon. Boat tours are available for closer views, and the rocks are a favorite subject for photographers. The site is free to view from the promenade, and it's a must-see for anyone visiting Beirut.

Un peu d'histoire
The rocks have been a natural landmark for centuries, but their name 'Rouche' derives from the French word 'roche' (rock). They became a popular tourist attraction in the mid-20th century as Beirut modernized.
