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 or Metzitzim beach -  is called so because many years ago
    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

    Gordon Beach - Nice and clean beach many tourists  - the restaurant is
    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.

    Frishman beach - Near Dan Hotel and the US Embassy is also a very
    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.
