About Solomon Wiesen

Solomon (Shlomo) Wiesen is the author and photographer behind TLV Beaches. He grew up in New York, moved to Israel in 2011, and has lived in Tel Aviv ever since, a short walk from Bograshov Beach. He works in marketing, SEO, and startups, and he started this site because the Tel Aviv coastline deserved a guide built on local knowledge and original photos instead of recycled listings. The site now holds more than 200 of his own beach photos, with the latest set taken in October 2026. Walk times, prices, and hours in the guides are estimates, so confirm before you go.
