St John the Beloved Church in Jounieh is dedicated to John the Apostle, the beloved disciple, and serves a parish on the Keserwan coast between Beirut and Byblos. It is one stop on a church itinerary that can also take in St Joseph, Our Lady of Peace and the older shrines up the ridge at Harissa. Expect a living parish church: feast-day crowds, a calm nave on weekdays, and a setting that looks toward the bay. Visitors are welcome when they dress modestly and keep phones discreet. For searchers mapping churches in Jounieh, this dedication is the one to distinguish from the many Marian and Maronite titles nearby.
