North Beach Beaches
Lovely beaches grace Tel Aviv's North Beach area. Hatzuk Beach North (known also as Mandarin Beach) is beautiful, clean and well-kept, with lawns, showers, changing rooms, walking paths and an outdoor gym. It and Hatzuk Beach South (also called Sea & Sun Beach) are the city's only two beaches with an in-season entrance fee during the day.
