Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Okaibe (Arabic: عقيبة) is a coastal village in Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate in Lebanon, well known for its public sandy beach, fishing port and market. It is a mix of a semi urban lively market street, and three distinctive residential areas situated on elevated ground and overlooking the coast. The river of "Nahr Ibrahim" runs through Okaibe and flows into the sea along the famous sandy beach. Historically a fishing community, with exclusively local residents, Okaibe has recently opened up through small scale real-estate investments that boosted the population growth. The overwhelming majority of the population is Christian and particularly Maronite Catholic.
