Latest reviews on Israel's beaches

Nitsanim beach
10 Ethan Alexander

The beach is a serene and immaculate spot, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It boasts of vigilant lifeguards, hygienic showers, restrooms, and wooden canopies that provide ample shade. The sunset view from the beach is simply breathtaking and worth experiencing. It is an ideal destination to visit during weekdays, except for Saturdays when it tends to get overcrowded. The parking facility is complimentary, except for those who wish to camp overnight.

Zamir beach
10 Andrew L.

Good!

Holiday Inn Dead Sea Beach
2 Renzo Aldridge

We visited this beach to check if we could access the holiday inn beach since Amman beach was closed. We anticipated paying an entrance fee, but the guard at the entrance informed us that we had to pay 30 JOD per person. It was quite disappointing and felt like a complete mockery.

The Quiet beach
6 Klyr Nax

Upon our arrival, we were informed that it was a day exclusively reserved for male swimmers, hence we were denied access to the waters.

Kiryat Sanz beach
10 Miguel Rivera

This is a lovely beach that caters to religious visitors. The sand and water are both excellent. However, it can get extremely crowded on Fridays and other busy days due to the limited space and high number of religious visitors. It would be great if the beach could be expanded to accommodate the crowds better.

Oranim beach
10 Aviv Cohen

This beach is truly remarkable and peaceful. At night, the sea is illuminated by a beautiful light.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 49 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Israel? In total there are 73 beaches and the most popular is Sironit beach.
