Tel Aviv boasts a beautiful coastline, dotted with cafés and restaurants, white sand beaches and the blue Mediterranean Sea. We have put together a day of activity, from the northern side of the coast southwards, which keeps you by the sea from morning till night.

Hof HaTzuk for a Serene Breakfast

To begin the day with an air of tranquility, start off with a nice breakfast on Hatzuk Beach, the most northern beach in Tel Aviv.  An authentic Israeli breakfast on the terrace with a breathtaking sea view is one of the best ways to start your day as a beach bum.  This beach is much less crowded than the other beaches, but it will cost you NIS 12 in the summer months.

A Dip in Gordon pool (Only summer)

After breakfast and the first dip for the day at HaTzuk Beach, head down south and try the salt water swimming pool on Gordon beach.  It's a worthwhile experience in any case, but also a nice variation on the sand theme of the day.

Gordon Beach

When the pool episode has exhausted itself and the longing for the sea overcomes you, Gordon and Frishman beaches are only a few steps away.
Try to catch lunch at the Fortuna Del Mer tavern, offering lovely appetizers and fish in a delightlful atmosphere.

Time for Water Sports

After your restful morning, it's time to burn some of those Lunch calories.  A short rest after lunch for a healthy digestion, and then head further south to the "Dolphinarium Beach" for some Paragliding, Windsurfing or a ride on a Banana boat.

Watch the Sunset in Manta Ray

The next beach after the Dolphinarium is Alma Beach, and on it is the beautiful Manta Ray restaurant.  This is the classic place to unwind after your "hectic" day.  Drink a glass of wine, beer or cocktail and enjoy the sea view and the towers of Old Jaffa as the sun sets.
   
A short rest and then it's time to head back out and experience Tel Aviv's notorious after dark activities.

Yes indeed! there are beaches along all of the west coast of israel so... in any cities southern of tel aviv (for example a nice beach is Palmahim beach near Rishon Letzion), or norther, like beaches in Hertzelia, or better yet, drive one hour up north to Ceaseria area, abit before or after i'm not sure -there's Tantura beach aka Dor beach which is lovely!! then you have trees behind you and not buildings...! and there's a little island you can swim to.. very nice and very tranquil. Enjoy:)

Tel Aviv Attractions

Gordon and Frishman Beaches
This lovely stretch of sand is probably the most popular of Tel Aviv's beaches. It offers the choice between lounging chairs and sunshades or sand only, so each bather can take his or her pick, and features a rather good beachside restaurant
