Andromeda Rock, Ancient coastal landmark in Jaffa, Israel.
The rocky formation extends from the Mediterranean Sea near the old port, forming a natural barrier along the Tel Aviv coastline.
The rock formation gained its name from Greek mythology, where Princess Andromeda was chained as a sacrifice until Perseus rescued her.
Local storytellers incorporate the rock formation into traditional narratives about ancient seafaring civilizations that once inhabited the Jaffa port.
Visitors can observe the rock formation from multiple vantage points along the coastal promenade between sunrise and sunset each day.
The geological structure serves as a natural breakwater, protecting the ancient port of Jaffa from strong Mediterranean currents.
