Ras al-Helal is the southwest endpoint of the
Levantine Sea in the
eastern Mediterranean. It is located in
Cyrenaica to the north-east of
Bayda.
Beach The Mediterranean coast of Libya is almost long, and nearly all its beaches are far from forests or significant vegetation. Being one of the few exceptions, Ras al-Helal attracts many vacationers. The area is isolated because of the lack of a direct coastal road connecting the nearby western town of
Susa with
Benghazi, the country's second largest city and the largest on the Cyrenaica coast.
Waterfalls . The Ras al-Helal waterfalls are located up in the Jebel Akhdar, some from the coastal road. They are considered one of the most beautiful natural places in the country and attract many Libyan visitors and vacationers. The access road to the waterfalls, constructed during the Italian occupation, is old, narrow, and in poor condition. Some viewing locations for the waterfalls are along dangerous cliffs, so visiting alone is not safe. ==See also==
