The marina in 2026
The Tel Aviv Marina is one of only three marinas in Israel to hold the Blue Flag environmental mark for 2026, alongside Jaffa Port and the Herzliya marina. The 2026 round covered 62 beaches and three marinas out of 157 beaches nationally, with Tel Aviv-Yafo taking 15 of those awards, 13 beaches plus the marina and Jaffa Port.
The mark is assessed on 33 criteria through the bathing season, including independent water testing every 31 days, published water quality data, a posted map of lifeguard stations and accessible facilities, accessibility equipment, clean drinking water and free public access. For a visitor, that is the short answer to whether the water inside and around the marina is monitored: it is, and the results are meant to be public.
