HaKshatot Beach — Attraction in Ashdod

HaKshatot Beach in Ashdod is a true gem on the Israeli coastline. I came here around sunset and was absolutely amazed by the calm, scenic atmosphere. The view of the sun dipping into the Mediterranean Sea, with palm trees gently swaying and the sky painted in warm tones of orange and purple, is simply unforgettable.

The beach is wide, clean, and well-organized. There's a lovely promenade with benches and grass areas, making it ideal for relaxing with family, friends, or even by yourself. Everything feels safe, accessible, and thoughtfully maintained. The iconic arches ("kshatot") add a unique touch and make the spot instantly recognizable in photos.

What I especially liked was the sense of peace you get just by sitting and listening to the waves. There were also people biking, jogging, and kids playing nearby, but it never felt too crowded or noisy. The beach area is also lit at night, which makes it great for evening strolls.

I highly recommend visiting around golden hour—just before sunset—for the perfect lighting and a truly relaxing experience. HaKshatot Beach is more than just a place to swim—it's a place to unwind, breathe, and enjoy the natural...

חוף ים באשדוד. חופי אשדוד בכללם נקיים ויפים. במתחם של חוף הקשתות יש מספר מסעדות אך המבנה המאכלס את המסעדות מוזנח. החוף עצמו פרוס עד למרינה לכיוון דרום ומקפידים לנקותו כל יום, כמו את שאר חופי אשדוד. בימי שבת בבוקר מתקיימת הרקדה המונית של ריקודי עם ברחבה הגדולה של הכניסה לחוף. בצמוד למתחם החוף ישנה חניה גדולה ואם היא מלאה אפשר לחנות בחניון האמפיתיאטרון הצמוד. מהחוף לכיוון המרינה יש טיילת נחמדה שאפשר להלך בה ובימי שבת פורסים שם ביתנים קטנים למכירת מזכרות וכו'. האזור נחמד מאוד והאוירה נעימה. Beach in Ashdod. The beaches of Ashdod are generally clean and beautiful. The Arches (Kshatot) Beach complex has a number of restaurants but the building that houses the restaurants is neglected. The beach itself is spread out to the marina in a southerly direction and is carefully cleaned every day, like the other beaches of Ashdod. On Saturday mornings there is a mass dance of folk dances in the large plaza of the beach entrance. Near to the beach complex there is a large parking lot and if it is full you can park in the adjacent amphitheater parking lot. From the beach towards the marina there is a nice promenade that you can walk on, and on Saturdays there are small pavilions for selling souvenirs, etc. The area is very nice and the atmosphere...

If they will only do some work and renew things this can easily become the best beach in Israel. With great restaurants, white sand and a lot of parking, this beach needs some attention from the city to become one of the best...
