Located on the coast 71km north of Beirut and 15km south of Tripoli, the town of Enfé is situated on an elongated peninsula measuring 400m long and with a maximum width of 120m. It is partially separated from the land by two great trenches dug into the bedrock during the Crusader period. This lovely, seaside fishing town is known for its ancient churches and caves. Today Enfé is also known for its salt production. Close to Enfé is the Crusader-era Abbey of Balamand, which sits on a promontory overlooking the sea.
