Tel Aviv beaches All of the Tel Aviv west side is one long beach which is divided into beaches named according to the hotel or street nearby. Here is the list of the beaches from North to South. Hof Hatzuk - is the only beach that is not free but requires an entrance fee - accordingly it has very good facilities. It is in a north part of Tel Aviv and you cannot reach it by foot from the center.
Sheraton Hotel used to be there - now this beach is called more often Metzitzim because of the legendary movie with Arik Einstein and Uri Zohar and also because Sheraton Hotel is now more to the South near Gordon Street - it is a bit confusing :-) The showers and the toilets have been recently refurbished so they are quite nice. There is also a beach bar called Metzitizim open in the evening too and a new children playground. The Separated Beach (the Religious beach) on the left side of Metzitzim (if you face the sea) is located the separated beach which is designated for the use of the orthodox religious people and there are days for men only and days for women only - However on Saturday it is a nice beach opened to everybody as the religious people are not allowed to go to the beach anyway on Saturdays. Also if you like to get a topless suntan you can go there in the women only days - they don' t mind at least they didn't last time I tried (a few years ago) Atzmout Beach (The Gay beach) between the separated beach and Hilton beach right under the Atzmout Park on the hill there is a narrow strip that is kind of gay and dogs beach :-) no offense - dogs are allowed as it is not an organised beach and gays just chose to meet there ... Hilton beach - The best beach if you like to swim in wave less sea - on the left part of the breakwater there is a pool like sea where you can enjoy swimming - just beware of the kayaks, boats and surfboards that are heading to sea from there. There is a beach bar - restaurant called Topsy Bar Gordon Swimming Pool - newly renovated in a minimalist modern style on a wooden deck and with open view to the sea and the Marina. Still the same cold salty water coming the depth of the sea. Opening hours Sunday to Thursday from 6 AM to 7 PM, Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM
pricey and not recommended - 1 shekel fee for the toilets that are reasonable clean - there is a Ben & Jerry Ice cream stand where you can have a nice refreshment. The beach bar decorated in Orange and white is nice if you like to watch the sunset with a cocktail in your hand: Lalaland café, bar right there on the beach nice for sunset drinks and morning snacks. Gym on the beach Gordon Beach
beautiful and clean beach with nice beach beds. It is lovely to spend the morning there and than cross the Yarkon street for lunch or breakfast at Café Mezada. I just did this lately on a Friday morning and I felt like a tourist The southern beaches - all the way south until Jaffa there are mostly the same - I would like to mention Banana Beach Bar that is a bit souther from the Opera Tower and is a nice place to sit on the beach and have a drink in a sloppy atmosphere. Drums beach - on the back of the Dolfinarium complex that BTW is a place where you don't want to be - very neglected and poorly looking - a beach and a pub where every Friday there are drummers sessions at sunset. - you can also sit at Chinky Beach Bar next to it for drinks. |

Lonely Planet" ranks Tel Aviv's beach 7th after Rio de Janeiro and Sydney. "Lonely Planet" has included Tel Aviv as one of the world's top ten beach cities. The travel guide ranks Tel Aviv's beach in seventh place, saying that the city is the "total flipside" of Jerusalem. "Tel Aviv is the total flipside of Jerusalem, a modern Sin City on the sea rather than an ancient Holy City on a hill. When the weather is warm Tel Avivans flock en masse to the city beaches. You’ll find young and old soaking up the Mediterranean rays, kitesurfing and knocking back and forth little rubber balls during friendly matches of matkot. The beaches are safe and clean, and there are changing rooms and freshwater showers scattered along its length. The main beaches are packed with people most days, especially on Saturdays, when the crowds descend to pick a prime spot. Get here early," Lonely Planet writes. Tel Aviv's beach topped Dubai, Miami, and Brighton. Barcelona ranked number one, followed by Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, Tangier, Sydney, and Valencia. In October 2012, Lonely Planet mentioned the Negev as one of the top ten sites worth visiting in 2013. Tel Aviv has previously earned similar flattering mentions. Two years ago, it was included in the top ten hottest cities worth visiting. "Lonely Planet" cited the city's choice of entertainment ventures and unique character.
