The National Geographic last week voted Tel Aviv one of its Top 10 beach cities in the world. Not surprising really, to those of us in the know who’ve enjoyed its golden sands and cute beach cafes. I won’t mention the cute Israeli girls in skimpy bikinis. I was down there myself yesterday, and though I hadn’t been for a few weeks, it’s easy to understand why so many people love Tel Aviv beach.
The National Geographic themselves called it Miami Beach on the Med, the polar opposite to the more religious Jerusalem. They also referred to “the bubble”, a common phrase used to describe Tel Aviv and its citizens, who can seemingly tune out all the regional stress and hatred and just keep living like life should be lived. Hence Tel Aviv’s reputation as one of the party capitals of the world.
If you haven’t been to Tel Aviv beach I think it’s time you darned well popped over for a visit! And to give you a visual taster of what it’s all about, here’s a clip I made a while back…enjoy!
