Tel-Aviv: Tupim Beach (Banana Drum Beach)
Tupim Beach (Banana Drum Beach) occupies a sandy stretch of the Mediterranean coast in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel’s Tel Aviv District. Also known locally as Hof HaTupim, it forms part of the city’s continuous public seafront, where a broad beach meets the eastern Mediterranean and low breakwaters shelter sections of water. The coast connects the modern centre of Tel Aviv with the older port city of Jaffa to the south. Tel Aviv began in 1909 as a new Jewish neighbourhood outside Jaffa; the two municipalities were joined as Tel Aviv-Yafo in 1950. Inland, the UNESCO-listed White City preserves a major concentration of International Style architecture from the 1930s and 1940s, anchoring the beach district in the city’s modern urban story.

Tel Aviv District has served as Israel’s urban and economic heartland since the mid-20th century.

The Yarkon River runs west through the district to the sea, with Yarkon Park following part of its course. Tel Aviv-Yafo brings together the 1909-founded city of Tel Aviv and the historic port quarter of Jaffa; its White City is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its concentration of Modern Movement architecture.

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.
