About

Quick facts: This sandy shore stretches about 700 meters along the Mediterranean coastline and bears the name of Gordon of Scotland. Every summer, its wide space welcomes thousands of daily visitors, making it one of the most frequented beaches in the urban area.

Highlights: One element that sets it apart is its system of cabins with different colored lights, where each color indicates the wave height level for swimmers and athletes. During dusk, volleyball athletes turn on their portable lights and continue playing late into the night, creating a festive atmosphere that is not easily found elsewhere.

Insider tips

Bring water shoes with you, as the seabed has some small stones that can be uncomfortable for bare feet.
For the best photos, position yourself on the northern side of the beach at sunset, where the light reflects off both the city and the sea at the same time.
Avoid Saturdays and Jewish holidays, when the space fills up very quickly and finding a free spot takes time.
Umbrella and sunbed rentals are expensive, so bring your own umbrella and settle in the free public area.
