Beachcombing in Israel

Saturday, July 27, 2013

There are many cool beaches up and down the Israeli coast -- some that are great for surfing and sun-bathing, and others that are good for just plain old beachcombing.  When my mom was visiting here, we found some amazing shells and sea glass at Michmoret beach, home to our great aunt and still her family.  This was a great find!  We were so surprised how many colors and shapes we found and the less we looked the more we found! 



Although some beaches are unfortunately scattered with a lot of trash (a stark reality throughout much of the Mediterranean), you can still find plenty of places with really relaxing walks along the promenades and boardwalks and many of these include upscale (but affordable) bars, restaurants, cafes, and ice-cream vendors.

I hope you like the sampling of stones, shells, and seaglass that we have collected. We’re hoping to make some fun art from our collection. For now, it fills the glass-topped coffee table in our living room.
