"Palmachim Beach National Park was a neglected beach, and since 2003 it has become a national park.
Although the entrance cost money, 10 shekels per car, but it's worth every shekel.
Thanks to this the beach is clean and pleasant.
The appearance is natural and pristine.
Natural pearl, recommended."
