Andromeda Rock, Ancient coastal landmark in Jaffa, Israel.
Andromeda Rock is a rocky formation near the old Jaffa port along the Mediterranean coast. It rises from the water and forms a natural part of the coastline between modern Tel Aviv and the historic harbor district.
The rock takes its name from Greek mythology about Princess Andromeda. Over centuries it became a known landmark for ships approaching Jaffa harbor.
The rock appears in local stories about ancient sailors who worked the Jaffa port centuries ago. Visitors come to feel connected to that maritime past while standing near the water.
The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when the light is most pleasant. You can view the formation from the coastal promenade where several viewpoints are available.
The rock formation naturally shields the harbor from strong sea currents for centuries. This role as a natural breakwater allows ships to enter the port more safely.
