    Goldman

    Grab a quick coffee and pastry to keep you warm while you walk. Goldman is open early and sits right by the water, making it the perfect fuel stop before the climb.

    Jerusalem beach

    Walk 29 minutes NNE from the museum to Jerusalem beach. The path is flat and the air is crisp. Find a spot on the sand facing WSW to watch the sun break over the horizon.

    Cafe Puaa

    Head back towards the landmark area. Cafe Puaa is a local favorite for its fried cauliflower and hearty Israeli breakfast. It is the ideal place to sit down, warm up, and digest the morning view.

Local tip

The walk from the museum to Jerusalem beach takes about 29 minutes. Start early to secure a good spot on the sand facing the WSW sunset direction (which is where the sun rises in the winter).
