Cote d'Azur, known locally as the Blue Beach (الشّاطِئ الأزرَقal-Shāṭiʼ al-Azraq) is a beach resort located 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) north of Latakia, Syria along the Mediterranean coast, on a site of archaeological importance called Ras Ibn Hani. During the summer, the entire area is packed with Syrian families on holiday,[1] as well as Gulf Arabs wishing to escape the heat of their own countries.[2]
Known for its spotless sands and crystal clear blue water,[3] the resort is considered to be one of the most cosmopolitan and westernized parts of the country,[2] being the home to Latakia's five-star hotels as well as home to private holiday apartments and a campsite.[1]
