Alma Beach

Tel Aviv


With spectacular views across the water to Jaffa, this beach takes the title for Tel Aviv's coolest stretch of sand thanks to the city's hipsters who hang out with their Goldstar beers on Shabbat. It's also home to the hugely popular Manta Ray restaurant and is the place to pick if you want to round out your sunbathing with some great seafood.
