Beaches in Israel

Part of the surrounding Apollonia National Park area, Apollonia Beach is beloved by locals and international tourists.

One of the liveliest beaches in all of Israel, Mosh's Beach is found in Eilat and draws in some big crowds. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful beach, you might want to go elsewhere, but if you want a lively vibe and a lot of fun, Mosh's Beach is the place to be. Looking out onto the mountains of Jordan and the stunning Red Sea, this beach is open all hours for evening parties and constant excitement. Great food is served nearby and live music can be heard here too, creating a nice party atmosphere that couples and young people will adore.

No trip to Israel can be complete without stopping off at one of the world's true natural wonders: the Dead Sea. Home to the lowest point on the planet, the water here is exceptionally salty and is said to possess various healing and therapeutic properties, so many visitors stop off here for an all-natural skincare routine. The salty nature of the water also means that you can simply float along without any effort, which is a very unique sensation that really needs to be experienced to be believed. Kalia Beach is the best place to stop off at the Dead Sea, fitted out with several amenities like snack stands, sun loungers, changing areas, and clean showers.

You'll have to pay to get access to this Tiberias beach, but once you gain access and step out onto the white sands, you'll realize that the entry fee is totally justified.

Great music is played here all the time at just the right volume, providing an enjoyable soundtrack for a lazy afternoon of sunbathing, and clean facilities like restrooms and showers are found here too. There are a couple of bars here serving refreshing cocktails and simple snacks, and there's a nice terrace area to sit and admire the views as well.

One of the biggest beaches in Israel, Gordon Beach offers vast open spaces for all kinds of beach activities. The sands here are so soft and silky smooth, you simply won't want to leave. There's also a natural saltwater swimming area and lots of local amenities courtesy of the many towering hotels and resorts that line the edge of the beach. The waves here are relatively small and the waters get nice and toasty in the summer months, making Gordon Beach a great spot for swimming and more. After the sun goes down, the fun continues at Gordon Beach with lots of bars and nightlife spots playing music well into the evening.
