"Very beautiful beach and super windy. Perfect for water sports that require the blessing of strong wind. If you are visiting the place in autumn/winter/early spring, make sure you have warm clothes, or at least a thick picnic blanket to wrap the kids 🤪"

"We visited here last week to have a walk by the river and the beach. This is the third time we visit this place; everything still the same from the first time since 2018, not so crowded; the beach clean and nice, more interesting than the Alexander River started from her 🌊🌅🏖️⛱️👌"

"A nice beach run by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. One of few beaches in Israel with access to handicapped visitors. Across the road from the beach there's also a little hidden winter lake."
