Netanya

Netanya Essentials

Netanya’s coastal landscape is defined by its dramatic sandstone cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This selection highlights the city's unique infrastructure, specifically the glass beach elevator that bridges the height difference between the clifftop promenade and the shore. Historical sites like the Municipal Museum and Beit HaBeer detail Netanya's transition from a 1920s agricultural settlement and 'Diamond City' to a modern coastal hub, complemented by central shopping and accessible sandy beaches.

Elevator Beach

Features a glass-walled elevator that connects the clifftop promenade directly to the shore, providing accessible entry to the Sironit Beach area without navigating the steep cliff stairs.

Haonot Beach

A sandy beach located at the foot of the northern cliffs, accessible via a stairway descent near the Seasons Hotel.

Netanya Municipal Museum

Housed in a former workshop for the blind, this museum documents Netanya's history from its 1929 founding as a citrus-growing village to its development as a center for the diamond industry.

Beit HaBeer

A restored 19th-century well house and farmstead that showcases the original machinery and irrigation methods used during the early days of regional settlement.

Ofer HaSharon mall

A central multi-level shopping center featuring international retail brands, a food court, and local services in the heart of the city.
