Latest reviews on Haifa's beaches

Neve Yam beach
8 Lena Kostić

This particular beach is one of the two available for camping in the vicinity, which means that it can get quite crowded on weekends. However, there is enough space for everyone to find their own spot. The beach offers ample parking, although it may be necessary to park up to 50 meters away from the shore. While there are often lively parties happening in the area, it is still possible to find a peaceful and quiet place to relax. It is important to note that the water levels can rise in the morning, so it's best to avoid pitching a tent too close to the water's edge.

Zamir beach
10 Andrew L.

Good!

Bat Galim beach
8 Kaspar Kovacs.

This Mediterranean beach is truly lovely, with its soft and inviting sand and tranquil, warm waters. However, it's important to keep in mind that on Fridays for Shabbat, the buses stop running around 5:00 p.m. If you happen to miss the last one, like I did, you'll be left with the choice of either taking a pricey taxi or embarking on a leisurely stroll.

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.

Carmel beach
10 Lukasz Kowalski

Great

Yigal Amster beach
10 Ali Al-Shreef

The most tranquil and cherished destination for me! No matter where I may roam, this place will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 11 beaches in the region, 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.
