Beaches

The blue sea wraps around three sides of Haifa with intoxicating golden beaches. You can schedule a whole day of your vacation at the sea and take in the beautiful Haifa pictures. Begin with a morning run along the promenade at Bat Galim or on the sands of Carmel Beach. Afterwards, relax with breakfast at a cafe overlooking the sea. In the afternoon, take a dip at one of the well-tended municipal beaches, or set out for windsurfing on the smooth waters of the Haifa bay.

If scuba diving's your thing, explore our underwater archaeological sites. Wind up the day with a romantic sunset, cooled by a cocktail or a slice of watermelon at one of the many restaurants or hotels along the beaches.

You can see also the city slopes from the sea. Boats leave Kishon port for a cruise around the busy harbor, affording a perspective of Haifa and the Carmel no less marvelous than the view from the top of the Carmel Mountain.
