The beach elevator Netanya

The beach elevator Netanya

The Ministry of Tourism, through the Government Tourism Company, is currently working on the construction of a new elevator that will descend from the cliff promenade in Netanya to the beach. This is the second elevator to be built in the city to bridge the height difference between the cliff promenade and the seafront and will make the spectacular beach of Netanya accessible to young and the elderly, families with small children and babies. The beach elevator near the Island and Ramada hotels) is the second elevator, as another elvator already operates on the Rishonim promenade, which, in addition to being a tourist attraction, also makes the beach fully accessible to people with disabilities. The current elevator - will bridge over a height of 33 m and will be connected to the promenade via an overhead observation bridge. It will include two compartments and will operate in a transparent shaft, which will allow an open view of the sea view. The bottom of the elevator will open to a closed lobby from which there will be an exit to the lower observation deck.

Eilat Beaches – Swim & Tan in Eilat

Eilat Beaches – Swim & Tan in Eilat

The beautiful, vibrant beaches scattered along the Red Sea coastline, run from the north edge of Eilat Bay, near the Jordanian border, down to south beach near the Egyptian border. The beaches are localized in two major areas – the North Beach, where the main hotel area is located, and the Coral Beach, further south of Eilat. The first is perfect for the more easygoing swimmers, sunbathers and water sport worshipers, whereas the latter serves as the main arena for scuba diving and snorkeling. Dotted with palm trees, straw parasols and lively bars playing music, most of Eilat’s beaches offer vivacious, tropical atmosphere during the day and incredibly romantic feel at night. At the beach, you are likely to see sunbathers from all over the world lying on beach beds just a few steps from the water. Others are busy dining at one of the nearby snack bars, playing “Matkot” (Israeli beach tennis) or simply relax in front of the fascinating vista. After a long day at the beach (remember to wear sunscreen!) it is time to get ready for the perfect finale – Eilat’s sunset. When the sun goes down beyond the hills of the city, just sit back and gaze at the gorgeous mountains of Aqaba across the sea, while they become amazingly red. Finally, as the night falls over the city, you can join the festivity at one of the beaches, which transformed into bustling locations for dancing parties and pubs. Those of you seeking for romanticism or maybe camping in a tent, where the beaches are less busy. Lying on the pebbles and the cool sand, listening to the whisper of the waves as they break into the shore, and staring at the moonlight gorgeously reflected on the water, is truly a remarkable experience. http://www.inisrael.com/tour/eilat/things_to_do.htm

Ashkelon beaches

About 12 kilometers of spectacular and spacious beaches adorn Ashkelon, a city whose sea is evident in its character at every step. The manicured and clean beaches of the southern pearl, some of which seem pristine and wild, are perfect not only for a refreshing swim, but also for an evening stroll in any season. Also, Along the beaches there is a large and beautiful promenade that is part of the way on cliffs overlooking the sea, and pleasant wide lawns, decorated with trees and spacious lawns. The promenade is located on the edge of a ridge adjacent to the sea, and allows vacationers a trip with a bonus: a spectacular view of the sea and the outskirts of the city. When visiting the city, do not miss a visit to the rich, sunny and peaceful beaches of Ashkelon, one of the city's most prominent landmarks. The marina in Ashkelon is an international marina with 600 berths for yachts. The spectacular marina is immersed in a magical atmosphere and magnetizes to it regular and casual blazers, sea lovers, who flock to it at any hour of the day. Six bathing beaches are available during the bathing season all days of the week, including holidays. Delila beach: A tidy bathing beach accessible to the disabled, with an area for renting sun loungers and parasols, toilets and showers and two buffets on the beach. Bar Kochba Beach: Perhaps the most beautiful beach in the city. Because the beach has two lifeguard booth the beach has become very wide. The beach has breakwaters so it is a beach with relatively calm water. The beach is handicapped accessible and has toilets and changing rooms, sun loungers and parasols for hire, and buffets. The beach of the national park: Entrance to this beach is only possible with a paid entrance to the national park. The great advantage of this beach is that even on usually busy days this beach is relatively vacant. This beach has no breakwaters so the water is relatively stormier. I highly recommend going to this beach if you have a cache subscription from the Nature and Parks Authority. The separate beach: A beach intended for the religious public and has separate days for men (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays) and women (Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays). The beach is beautiful and clean, and has all the beach services needed.
