Kallia Beach, Dead Sea beach in Northern Dead Sea, Israel
Kallia Beach stretches along the northern shore of the Dead Sea with access to mineral-rich water of exceptional salt concentration. The beach sits about 430 meters below sea level and offers facilities including changing areas, showers, and loungers for visitors.
The site belongs to Kibbutz Kalya, founded in 1929 as a potash extraction settlement, destroyed during the 1948 war, and rebuilt after 1968. The reconstruction following the Six-Day War marked a decisive turning point in the location's development.
The name comes from Kibbutz Kalya, whose history shapes the identity of this beach today. Visitors encounter a place where the past remains visible in daily life and locals actively use the waterfront.
The beach is accessible daily with lifeguards and shuttle transport available for visitors. Wear good shoes since the ground can be salty and uneven underfoot.
The location houses a notable establishment positioned 417 meters below sea level that serves Israeli-Canaanite cuisine. Visitors find here an unusual combination of natural wonder and culinary experience.
