    Alma beach

    Walk to Alma beach for the sunrise view. It is Tel Aviv's most beautiful beach, offering a nice view of Old Jaffa across the water. The waves are bigger here, so keep an eye on the water, but the empty shore is perfect for a quiet start.

    City Break

    Head back toward the city for fresh bread. City Break is a coffee shop just a short walk away that serves great sandwiches with bread freshly made on the premises, along with cakes and salads.

    Lehi Museum

    End your morning at the Lehi Museum. This building was the hiding place of Lehi leader Avraham Stern when he was killed by British police in 1942. The museum describes the right-wing Lehi militia which operated between 1940-1948. It is a quiet, reflective spot to close out the early start.

Local tip

Alma beach is less crowded than the central beaches in the early morning, making it ideal for sunrise viewing.

Check before you go

  • Check opening hours for City Break if you plan to eat there, as hours can vary.
