The city boasts 16 beaches, all of which have clean toilets and outdoor showers, and most also offer indoor showers and changing rooms.

The beaches of Tel Aviv are diverse, and consistently receive rave reviews from the visitors. The Nordau Street Beach caters to conservative, Orthodox Jewish sun seekers by offering separate visiting days for men and women, while the Atzmaut Beach is especially welcoming to Tel Aviv’s vibrant gay community. The areas adjacent to the Tel Aviv Marina (primarily Gordon-Frishman Beach) are the ideal spot to hop in on a game of volleyball or participate in surfing, kayaking, boating or diving. Whether you want to go swimming with the dogs, relax and read or play matkot – Israel’s favorite beach sport – you'll find a shoreline to suit your needs.

Considering the city’s beaches span 9 miles along the western edge of Tel Aviv, there are a variety of ways to reach them. Bus No. 4 is your best option though because it runs north to south and any stop you choose will only be one block from the shore.
