MARINA DE TEL AVIV

Where Ben Gurion Boulevard flows onto the waterfront, you'll find the Tel Aviv Marina, the largest marina in the country and the first one built in the 1970s. It hosts more than 400 boats, a restaurant, a diving centre, a sailing school and a small shipyard. It offers 24-hour surveillance and all kinds of services: connections, bathrooms and showers and a paid parking lot. The green and white lighthouse at the end of the Marina pier is active. It's nice to walk around there dreaming of setting sail.
