The Western edge of Tel Aviv is one long beach, but which one’s are the one’s to see and be seen at?

Hilton Beach

Near the Hilton Hotel, the Hilton beach is known as the city’s gay beach, as well as being popular with surfers and the city’s residents bringing dogs. A great beach to meet interesting people, this beach is fun no matter who you are. The beach has bathrooms, beach chairs, and volleyball nets, and can be accessed via a service road from Metzizim Beach. This beach is also very popular with surfers as a natural offshore reef creates a swell.

Banana Beach

Perhaps better for a drink, Banana Beach (named after the Banana Cafe) is popular with Tel Avivians and tourists alike. Low tables are set out on the beach, and people come here for a drink, to relax, to play maktot and to watch the sunset.

Dolphinarium Beach

Maybe not Tel Aviv’s best general beach, but this beach has a music festival each Friday with all sorts of drummers and performance artists, which is both fun and fascinating. It has a relaxed and laid back atmosphere.

Alma Beach

In the south of the city, Alma Beach does not have a life guard and as such is not as busy as some of the city’s other beaches. It is laid back and cool, however, and a fun place to chill out and enjoy your time in Tel Aviv.
