Estuary of the Yarkon River

The Yarkon River flows into the Mediterranean Sea through a wide mouth, creating a natural transition zone between fresh and salt water.

The estuary marked a strategic location during World War I, serving as a reference point for British military operations against Ottoman forces.

The river mouth represents the endpoint of Israel's second-largest waterway, which spans 27.5 kilometers through multiple municipalities in central Israel.

Visitors can access the estuary area through the northern section of Tel Aviv's shoreline promenade, connecting to the Yarkon Park paths.

The estuary contains a mixture of Mediterranean and river waters, forming specific ecological conditions that support both marine and freshwater species.
