Kaslik

Kaslik is a coastal town in Lebanon, located on the Mediterranean shoreline just north of Beirut, within the Keserwan District of the Mount Lebanon Governorate. It forms part of the Jounieh metropolitan area and lies along the main coastal road that links Beirut with the north. The town is predominantly residential with a bustling commercial strip, hotels, and restaurants that cater to residents and visitors, particularly during the summer months.

Kaslik hosts the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USK), a private Catholic university that is a major higher-education institution in the region. The campus and related facilities are a notable feature of the town. Along the seafront, Kaslik has beaches, a promenade, and a variety of cafes and shops that contribute to its role as a local hub for tourism and commerce.

Historically, Kaslik began as a small fishing and farming settlement and has grown into a suburban town associated with the Jounieh corridor. Its growth has been shaped by its proximity to Beirut and by the expansion of infrastructure such as the coastal highway and regional roads. The economy is anchored in services, retail, and education, with tourism playing a seasonal role.
