Jerusalem (Geula) Beach

This beach is famous for its link to the game "matkot", a game often played at the beach with paddles that resemble tennis. Visitors can marvel at the skills of the locals or even join in themselves.

Across the street, on the edge of the city, visitors can find famous bakeries and shops selling refreshing juices, ice-cream, and milkshakes, for those looking to cool off and replenish their energy. The beach itself has a beach cafe called Tzfoni BeTayelet which is a very popular spot for catching the setting sun.

Tel-Aviv hotels on the beach are an extremely popular choice for many holiday goers as they can boast beautiful views across the mediterranean sea. Jerusalem Beach is the perfect place for lounging out in the sun or playing an intense game of "matkot".

Gordon Beach

Perhaps one of the busiest beaches but for good reason, Gordon beach has something for everyone, from gorgeous, green lawns to relax and sunbathe, sports courts (including volleyball) and a saltwater swimming pool. Across the street, you can find many cafes and ice-cream shops, and as the sun starts to go down you can find a variety of restaurants and bars ready to provide an evening of fun.

Across the street, you will find some of the best places to stay in Tel-Aviv from luxury to a modest budget, backpackers, business people, and travelers will find a wide array of options if they choose to locate themselves opposite Gordon beach.

Frishman Beach

Incredibly popular with families, this beach has a shallow entry into the water making it perfect for young children or those who wish to paddle and not swim. Lifeguards are very present on the beach which can aid in reassuring nervous swimmers or families. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from as you cross the road back to the city seeking out lunch or a refreshing snack. Or if you cannot bring yourself to leave the beach itself, a cafe sits directly upon Frishman beach.
