Nahal Sorek Estuary and Palmachim Beach

In Hebrew: שפך נחל שורק וחוף פלמחים

Please note: Swimming is only permitted at the authorized Palmachim Beach. Along the rest of the beach there are no lifeguards, and entering the water is dangerous.

A trail of about 5 kilometers along Nahal Sorek, ending at a quiet beach that is empty of people most of the year.

Not a circular trail; you have to do the walk in both directions.

More about the place

The trail starts at Horshat HaTzanhanim, a grove with picnic tables near Kibbutz Palmachim, and continues along Nahal Sorek inside Nahal Sorek Estuary National Park, also known as Nahal Rubin. Along the way, you pass through eucalyptus trees and sand dunes, by 'Turtle Island' and a cormorant colony, and from the kurkar ridge you can see the stream estuary and Palmachim Beach. The final stretch runs through the sand right up to the water's edge.
