By Solomon Wiesen, TLV Beaches. Last reviewed October 2026.
HaSharon Beach is one of Herzliya’s declared bathing beaches, toward the northern end of the city’s main beach strip. You reach it from De Shalit Square and walk in through the arches. It is one of only two Herzliya beaches with lifeguards all winter, and it has restaurants right by the sand.
One correction first, because older guides (an earlier version of this page included) got it wrong: HaSharon is not the “marina beach”. The beach beside the Herzliya Marina is Acadia South, further down the coast, past Zvulun Beach and the other Acadia beaches.

Where HaSharon Beach Is
Herzliya’s municipality listed eight declared bathing beaches in 2025. From north to south they are Nof Yam (Sidna Ali), HaSharon, Zvulun, Acadia North, Acadia Center, Acadia South, HaKochavim and the separate beach. HaSharon is the second from the north, at De Shalit Square, and Zvulun Beach is the next one to the south.
North of it, Apollonia National Park sits on the cliff: a paid Nature and Parks Authority site with the ruins of a Crusader fortress, and an easy thing to pair with a beach day. The shore directly below the park is closed because of the risk of cliff collapse, so do not plan to walk the waterline all the way there.
Lifeguards and Swimming
HaSharon has a lifeguard station that works all year, which is unusual in Israel. The 2026 bathing season ended on Saturday 10 October. For the winter of 2026 to 2027, lifeguards work here from 07:30 to 16:00, through April 2027. The only other Herzliya beach with winter lifeguards is Acadia North.
Summer hours are set every year. In 2025 they ran from 07:15 to 15:45 at the start and end of the season, and until 18:45 from late June to the end of August. Check the municipality’s beach page for the current season, and only swim in front of a staffed lifeguard station.
Facilities at HaSharon Beach
- Showers and restrooms
- Loungers and umbrellas for rent, plus shade
- Outdoor fitness equipment
- A sailing club on the beach
- Restaurants right by the sand
Entry is free, as at every Herzliya beach, and you do not have to rent anything: you can bring your own umbrella and chairs.
Who HaSharon Beach Is Best For
Couples, winter swimmers and anyone who wants a restaurant right by the sand. Families who want the widest stretch of sand and the most complete set of services usually pick Acadia North instead. Both are covered in our guide to every Herzliya beach, north to south.
