Hilton Beach
Along with the gay scene, Hilton Beach has also captured the niche water-sports market. The Sea Centre Club offers windsurfing and kayaking classes, with special lessons for beginners and children. With a host of restaurants offering varied beach food, Hilton beach is perfect for a day or night-time chill-out, summer or winter.
Jerusalem (Geula) Beach
Known as the “matkot” beach, the incessant tick tacking of this annoying game loved by Israeli beach-goers is rampant. Either join in for a heated game, or cool off in the sea. Just across the street, beach-goers can nosh at Tel Aviv’s Abulafia (Jaffa’s famous Arabic bakery), or refuel at Shakes Pree next door for fresh juices and shakes. The beach café, Tzfoni BeTayelet, is spacious and perfect for catching the sunset.
Gordon Beach
Gordon Beach boasts volleyball courts and a lovely saltwater swimming pool, surrounded by lawns to lounge on. On the boardwalk you’ll find a myriad of restaurants serving huge portions of classics like Israeli breakfast, fresh fish, sandwiches and a huge array of salads. After sundown, various outdoor beach bars provide sun-burnt partiers with some afterhours fun with DJs, drinks and dancing.
Bograshov Beach
Bograshov Beach is the perfect place to be right in the center of it all. Tourists and locals alike love to hang out on this bustling stretch of coast, and you can’t blame them! Grab yourself a spot in the sand and enjoy the view of the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea on one side, the architecture of Tel Aviv on the other, and tons of beautiful beach bums in between. Bograshov Beach is definitely a prime spot to do some great people watching. Plus, if you get hungry, you’re just steps away from a wide range of delicious eateries.
