A long sand-and-pebble beach at the foot of Mount Carmel, on the western edge of the city. It is more popular for surfing than swimming — northerly winds throw up the most reliable waves on the Israeli coast — and the lower station of the Stella Maris cable car is at its southern end.
The promenade behind the beach has cafés and a couple of fish restaurants. Avoid swimming in winter when the surf can be heavy.
