4. Dor Habonim Beach Nature Reserve

Want to have a vacation and spend your holidays on a white sand beach? Fantasize no more! I am introducing to you the Dor Habonim Beach Nature Preserve! I believe that this is the place that you have been dreaming of! If you have plans of staying for a night or for a few days and nights, you can feel free to camp overnight at the central beach where washrooms, a covered picnic area, and a commercial soft drink stand are available. However, if you are a loud music lover, I regret to inform you that there is no loud music permitted in this place. If you are also bringing your car with you, parking is nearby.

7. Giv'at HaRakafot

This is a nice little hill; in spring time there are lots of flowers and tons of people who come to see them. Come at early spring to see the abundance of flowers. The druze lady at the shack nearby cooks great oriental food. Unfortunately many people trample the flowers into a field of wheat in spite of the signs by playing ball, so be respectful of the floral show during your visit.
