The water of this beach is impeccable, even though we are in the heart of the city: this is the first observation to make. A sign that the purification plants are working well. As a group, we spent a few hours of an August day on this beach, having come from Carmel Market. Given the location and the season, the beach is packed. However, there is room for everyone, the beach beds can be rented at very low prices. There is ample availability for food and drink. All in all we spent a wonderful few hours here.

There’s plenty of umbrellas and seats for shade and relaxing. The beach is very crowded so you might have to walk a little far to get a spot. The cafes nearby offer food and drinks at a little higher premium than other places. There’s also a market within a 10min walk where you can get items, food, and groceries.

We spent time on this beach and watched the sunset here, which was stunning. The beach was very clean and although there were surfers in the water, there were signs saying that swimming was not allowed. We learned this was due to high bacteria counts. The beach was lovely nonetheless and hopefully this problem has been addressed or will be soon.
