Dor-HaBonim Beach, the most beautiful beach in Israel. A Mediterranean Coastal Nature Reserve including an area of 42.3 ha and 4,825m shore line with a kurkar (Calcareous) ridge & sandy beaches, extending from Tel Dor in the south to Moshav HaBonim in the north. The reserve provides a number of walking routes that pass through the bays, allowing close-up views of fantastic natural sites, like a "shell bay", "blue caves", remains of a vessel with Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo, קורמורן גדול), a "Kurkar Quarry", the "Hill of Blossoms", a Well, and "The Gutter"( the valley between the two kurkar ridges). The Marine platforms (sections of the sandstone ridge that have been flattened by the constant beating of the waves) sustain a unique natural world. Directions: Exit from the Tel Aviv-Haifa highway (route2) at Mehlaf Zikhron Yaakov Interchange (if coming from the south) or at Mehlaf Atlit Interchange (if coming from the north). From route 4 take the turn of signposted Moshav Habonim and follow the signs.
