It is often referred to by its previous name, Tantura beach. Here you’ll find: HaBonim beach and its magical coves, bays,

lagune, and little islands that are at walking distance. There are all sorts of fascinating fauna and flora inhabiting the dunes, and exploring the HaBonim “Blue Cave” makes for an unforgettable excursion. In the nearby Tel Dor National Park there are remains of an ancient port and of the ancient Phoenician city of Dor. ˆ Gili Mazza is a journalist and a
