Tel Aviv is long and skinny (as are many of the men and women in these images…). Tel Aviv has a several mile beach that runs along it’s western border. The weather in Tel Aviv is actually a meaningless term for 8 months of the year. The temperature is simply hot and sticky. The humidity runs at 90% and higher every day, with temperatures in the mid to upper 30′s Celsius (90′s + Farenheit).

Tel Aviv is Israel’s truly cosmopolitan city. Tel Aviv residents have some collective chip in their shoulders almost as if it was a national duty to keep Tel Aviv a staunchly secular European-style city. We’ll provide more examples of this phenomenon in other posts about this great city. Now, back to the beach…

The beach is a natural attraction. From early in the morning until dusk, you’ll see sun bathers, kids in soccer games, ‘matkot’ paddle ball games, and swimming. You’ll also see wind surfers, para-sails, kayakers, and generally folks of all ages having a good time. Most of the tourist hotels are right on the beach, just on the other side of the road. Vacationers fall out of their rooms right onto the beach.

Here’s some general photos of the beach. Each thumbnail opens a larger image.

There’s no-nudity on this page.
