Dado Beach
חוף דדו
The most popular long sandy beach in central Haifa, with a wooden boardwalk, restaurants and lawns. It is a great spot to watch the sunset over the Mediterranean.
Dado Beach lies on Haifa's southern coast. Joined to the neighboring beaches, it forms a sandy stretch several kilometers long. Facilities include lifeguard stations, showers, restaurants and bars, and a seaside promenade. It is very popular in summer, and folk dancing often takes place on weekends. Evenings are a good time to watch the sunset over the Mediterranean. The swimming season runs roughly from May to October, and you should swim only in areas with lifeguards on duty. It is about 15 minutes from the city center by bus or taxi.
