Tel-Aviv: Hilton Beach
Tucked along Israel’s Mediterranean coast, Hilton Beach is a place whose character is shaped by the open shoreline and urban setting of Tel Aviv-Yafo. This stretch of coast lies beside Independence Park and below the Hilton Tel Aviv, with swimming areas, a breakwater and a broad pedestrian waterfront linking it to the city’s other public beaches. The beach is widely associated with Tel Aviv’s LGBTQ+ community and is among the city’s best-known social waterfronts. Tel Aviv-Yafo grew from the 1909 neighbourhood of Ahuzat Bayit, while ancient Jaffa to the south remains a historic port city. Its White City, a major concentration of International Style architecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Among the countries of the eastern Mediterranean, Israel stands out for its compact geography, where a Mediterranean coast, the Jordan Valley and the Negev Desert lie within a relatively small area. Jerusalem’s Old City contains places sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. To the north, the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake associated with Christian tradition; southward, the Dead Sea marks the country’s lowest-lying region. Tel Aviv brings a contrasting modern urban pace, with its UNESCO-listed White City ensemble of early modernist architecture. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Israel.
