About TLV Beaches

TLV Beaches is an online guide to the coastline of Tel Aviv-Yafo.

First-time tourists want a place to sunbathe, surfers want the best Mediterranean swell, and locals want a quiet corner away from the city. We try to point each of them to the right stretch of sand.

Our Mission

Tel Aviv has 13 official Tel Aviv beaches, each with its own distinct personality, crowd, and “vibe.” Between the volleyball courts of Gordon Beach, the quieter Banana Beach and the less-known beaches of Jaffa, it is hard to know where to start.

TLV Beaches was created to be your “insider on the ground.” We provide:

Beach Reviews: A detailed page for every beach, covering facilities, accessibility, and the best local food nearby.
Insider Tips: The “sun-burning” questions answered, from where to find the best matkot games to which beaches have the best sunset views.
Travel Guides: Our picks for seaside hotels, beach bars, and things to do along the coast.

Who runs this site

I’m Solomon Wiesen, though most people call me Shlomo. I grew up in New York and moved to Israel in 2011, and I have lived in Tel Aviv ever since, near Bograshov Beach. I work in marketing, SEO, and startups, which is why these guides answer the questions visitors actually ask: where lifeguards are on duty, which beach suits kids, where to leave your bag, and how far the hotels really are from the sand.

How the guides are made

The site has more than 200 original photos of the Tel Aviv beaches, all taken by me, with the latest set shot in summer 2026. Walk times, prices, and hours are estimates, so confirm before you go. Hotel links may be affiliate links; see the affiliate disclosure below.
