Netanya sits on Israel’s Mediterranean coast in the Center District, where kurkar sandstone cliffs meet a broad line of urban beaches. Founded in 1929 and named after the American philanthropist Nathan Straus, the city grew from a small agricultural settlement into one of the country’s major coastal communities. Its seafront promenade follows the bluff above the shore, while Independence Square forms a central gathering place inland. The nearby Poleg Stream and its nature reserve add coastal dunes to the built-up shoreline. Browse other webcams across Israel’s Center District to place this coast in a wider geographic context.
