For a real club night by the sea in Tel Aviv, go to Shalvata at the Tel Aviv Port. For a beach party with a DJ, go to BAYZ and its Beluga roof bar at Hilton Beach, or Stolero by Gordon Pool. In summer, Clara runs an open-air dance bar on the sand near the Dolphinarium. Tel Aviv does not have gated daybed beach clubs like Ibiza or Mykonos; its beach nightlife is open bars, restaurants that turn into parties, and a few clubs at the two ports.

The free option: Drummers’ Beach on Friday
Every Friday afternoon a drum circle gathers on the sand by the old Dolphinarium, next to Banana Beach, and keeps going until sunset. People dance, juggle and bring their own drinks. It costs nothing and it is the most Tel Aviv way to start a Friday night.

Practical tips for a night out by the beach
- Age. The legal drinking age in Israel is 18, but clubs set their own door policy and many ask for older guests on weekends. Bring ID.
- Nights. The big nights are Thursday and Friday. Things start late; clubs fill up after midnight.
- Season. The open-air places are busiest from May to October. Some, like Clara, close in winter. See the beach in winter guide.
- Drinking on the sand. Read the rules on alcohol on the beach and glass on the beach.
- Swimming. Never swim at night. There are no lifeguards after dark; see beach safety.
- Getting home. Parking at the port fills up fast on weekends; see parking near the beach. Taxis and ride apps wait on HaYarkon Street.
- Where to stay. For the port and Shalvata, look at hotels near Metzitzim. For BAYZ and Stolero, hotels near the marina.
