FIVE UNEXPECTED BEACHES IN TEL AVIV

To get away from Frishman, Gordon and Banana

Frishman, Gordon AND Banana are not the only places to take a nap and accentuate your tan. A luxurious beach, sporty or nudist one; here is our selection of alternative beaches in Tel Aviv.

GAASH BEACH: THE WILDEST ONE

In Gaash, there is no doubt that you either love it right away or you hate it all the way. Located a short distance north of Tel Aviv, you need to go there to understand what’s really in the air. While still very wild, it is not that easy to access but it’s worth the effort to enjoy a moment of serenity. Just a little bit of concern: we call it Paradise Beach too because it welcomes some visitors as naked as the day they are born.

GAZEBBO BEACH: THE FRENCH RIVIERA ONE

If you’re looking for quality mattresses and sophisticated food, you’re probably not thinking of going to the beach and its restaurants. Well, you might just be wrong. TheGazebbo Beach in Herzlyia is a slice of heaven. Soft lawn chairs and restaurants serving fine dishes, all of that placed on the fine sands of Israel’s Mediterranean beaches.

GIVAT ALYIA BEACH: THE PEACEFUL ONE

When you first look at it, it’s just a regular beach, but when you actually put its merits to the test, you understand how amazing it truly is. The future beach of the Hotel W, opening summer 2016, is a natural wonder and harbors the restaurant Cassis, a proprietor of mouth-watering dishes. But what actually gives it its charm is its closeness to the Peres Center for Peace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

JERUSALEM BEACH: THE ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY ONE

The name itself is all the appeal, emanating a symbolic aura of that of the holy city. Then we realized it was one of the few beaches in Israel that is eligible to display a Blue Flag. We now understand its success. Cleanliness, security and environmental protection might not directly impact your experience, but knowing that this is what the beach provides will make you feel more comfortable.

WEST SHORE: THE SPORTY ONE

Surfers personal paradise. In contrast to the other beaches in Tel Aviv, West Shore doesn’t have a breakwater, which gives the waves a unique pattern. Located between Tel Aviv and Yafo, it’s the beach to go to when the sun turns down to have a peek at the sexy surfers of Tel Aviv.
