Sandy Beach

Ashdod, Israel, Israel

---

Sandy Beach in Ashdod, Israel, is part of Ashdod’s famous group of seven clean, family-friendly bathing beaches along the Mediterranean coast, which locals call the “Golden Beaches” because of their wide golden sand and clear blue waters.

These beaches are consistently awarded Israel’s highest cleanliness ratings and the international Blue Flag for safety, water quality, and environmental management. The beach offers calm, swimmable waters perfect for families, with amenities including outdoor showers, restrooms, changing rooms, chair and umbrella rentals, children’s playgrounds, fitness areas, and free parking.

It is easily accessible by car or public transit, located about 30 minutes from Tel Aviv, and is also wheelchair-accessible. Ashdod’s beaches are known for being less crowded than Tel Aviv’s, featuring large sand dunes, beautiful sunsets, and a relaxed atmosphere, though there are no restaurants directly on most beaches—kosher dining options like the popular fish restaurant Piscado are about a mile away.
