Zvulun Beach, Mediterranean beach in Herzliya, Israel.
Zvulun Beach is a sandy coastal area along the Mediterranean near Herzliya with a gentle slope into the water and a wide shoreline. It has a main access point with parking nearby and includes shower and changing facilities for visitors.
In 1937–1938 Henrietta Diamond, president of the Zvulun Sea Scouts association, and engineer Emanuel Tovim toured the coast to expand its activities. On 22 November 1939 over 700 people gathered on this beach for the cornerstone ceremony of the Herzliya branch, the first north of Tel Aviv. A concrete building and a wooden jetty were erected; the building was destroyed in January 1968 after a storm.
Locals come here regularly to swim and spend leisure time, especially on weekends and warm days when the water is inviting. Families and groups of friends use the shore as a place to gather and enjoy time together away from daily routines.
Visitors should arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy the best sun angle. Essential facilities like showers and changing areas are located near the entrance and are easy for anyone to find.
Underwater near the beach lie the remains of a wooden jetty built in 1939 to haul the Zvulun association's boats to the sea. The elongated concrete building that stood on the shore, with a door facing the water and no poured floor, was demolished in January 1968 after a strong storm; a hidden weapons cache was found beneath it.
