Betzet Beach – the northern most public beach in Israel – is also one of its most beautiful beaches. Even though it is an authorized beach, offering rescue services, restrooms, bathrooms and even a snack bar, the beach gives bathers and travelers the sensation of a wild, pristine seashore. The unique sand, that can be found only in this area, and the proximity to Rosh Hanikrah turn this beach not only into a bathing site but also into a magnificent scenic spot. Only the navy vessels, constantly patrolling the water opposite the beach, serve as a reminder that, after all, this is the northern border of the state of Israel …
Those who wish to get away from the commotion of other bathers can proceed south to an area forbidden for swimming, and also defined as a military zone. In this area one can walk along the seashore on a very clean strip of beach, a fact that suggests that not too many travelers and bathers frequent this place.
