Swimming Alert Lifted at Popular Herzliya Beaches

Great news for travelers planning beach time in Israel! The Ministry of Health has lifted the swimming ban at two popular Herzliya beaches – Akadia North and Sharon – after recent water quality tests came back clear.

These stunning Mediterranean beaches are back to welcoming swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Herzliya’s coastline is just a 20-minute drive north of Tel Aviv, making it an easy day trip or perfect spot for beach lovers staying in the greater Tel Aviv area.

The beaches offer excellent facilities including restaurants, cafes, and equipment rentals. Akadia North is particularly popular with families, while Sharon Beach attracts a younger crowd with its beach clubs and volleyball courts.

If you’re planning your Israel itinerary, Herzliya’s beaches are definitely worth including – especially now that the water quality is confirmed safe for swimming. The area also boasts some of Israel’s most upscale hotels and dining options if you’re looking to add some luxury to your beach day.
