Gdor Reserve

Gdor Reserve is a nature reserve on the Mediterranean coast within the Sharon Plain, combining coastal wetlands, sandy beaches, and salt marshes across its protected area. The landscape supports diverse plant and animal species adapted to these distinct coastal environments.

Tel Gdor, an ancient city, left archaeological remains at this location with partially preserved walls showing past settlement patterns. These remnants testify to the area's importance as a human settlement spanning many centuries.

The reserve serves as a place where people connect with coastal nature and learn about conservation through hands-on experience in the field. Local communities value this stretch of shore for its role in protecting habitats that have supported life for generations.

Multiple marked trails suit different fitness levels and connect to parking areas distributed throughout the reserve. Facilities are available along the pathways, making visits comfortable during any season.

The reserve contains tidal pools formed by rock outcrops that create sheltered habitats for marine species and important breeding sites for sea turtles. These shallow water formations are one of the area's most distinctive natural features.
