Let us be honest up front, because it saves you money. Tel Aviv does not have beach clubs in the way Mykonos or Cesme do. There is no gated sand, no minimum spend at the door and no headline daybed rate. Every beach along the city promenade is public and free to walk onto and swim from, and the only thing you pay for is a rented sunbed and umbrella from the concession that runs each beach, plus whatever you spend at the beach restaurants and bars dotted along the sand.
So the price question here is really two questions: what a lounger costs, and what a table at one of the beach restaurants runs to. We list the main central beaches and the established on sand venues below and let each quote the number for your date, because the lounger rate moves by beach and season and we would rather mark it to be confirmed than invent it. The best value move in this city is the oldest one: a free swim, a rented bed if you want the shade, then the walk up to the market and the cafes where Tel Aviv really earns its reputation. Send a date through the form and we pass it to the venue.
What a day costs, beach by beach
The sand is public and free. You pay for a rented lounger or a beach restaurant table, and rates move by beach and season, so we mark them to be confirmed. See the full Tel Aviv beach directory for the mood of each.
| Beach or venue | Stretch | Sunbed or table | Minimum spend | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gordon Beach | Central promenade | Rented lounger, to be confirmed | None, public sand | The busy central beach with a lap pool nearby, showers and lounger rental. The easy default for a city swim within a short walk of the hotels and cafes. |
| Frishman Beach | Central promenade | Rented lounger, to be confirmed | None, public sand | The lively stretch straight down from Frishman street, with rented beds, matkot players and food kiosks. Central, sociable and simple. |
| Hilton Beach | Northern promenade | Rented lounger, to be confirmed | None, public sand | A calmer northern beach known as a hub for surfers, dog walkers and the citys LGBT crowd, with lounger rental and a relaxed feel. |
| Metzitzim Beach | Tel Aviv port | Rented lounger, to be confirmed | None, public sand | A sheltered family beach by the old port with shallow water, a breakwater and cafes. Good for calm swimming and easy access to the port dining. |
| Manta Ray | Charles Clore | Restaurant table | To be confirmed | The long standing beach restaurant on the sand near Charles Clore and Jaffa, known for its mezze and fish. Book a table, especially for lunch and weekends. |
| Beach Club TLV | Herbert Samuel | Beds and table | To be confirmed | A beach venue on the central Herbert Samuel promenade with loungers and food service. The closest the centre comes to a club feel, so check any minimum. |
| La Mer Beach | Herbert Samuel | Beds and table | To be confirmed | A central seafront spot on the Herbert Samuel stretch with sunbeds and a restaurant. Handy for pairing a lounger with a sit down meal by the water. |
| Shalvata TLV | Tel Aviv port | Beach bar | To be confirmed | A long running beach bar and event space at the northern port, better known for evenings, music and parties than a quiet daytime lounger. |
Where the money actually goes
Because the sand is free, the Tel Aviv beach bill is small and simple, and it splits three ways. The first is the lounger, a modest rental for a bed and umbrella from the beach concession, dearer in July and August than in the shoulder months. The second is the water and shade you do not need to buy at all, since the public beaches have free showers and open sand, so a towel and an umbrella from home cost nothing. The third, and the only real spend, is the food, whether that is a kiosk cold drink, a beach restaurant lunch at Manta Ray or a full evening at a port bar.
The smart move in this city is to keep the beach cheap and spend the budget on the food scene behind it. Rent a lounger if you want the shade, swim off the free sand, then walk five minutes inland for hummus, sabich and fresh juice at the Carmel Market, or south to Jaffa for fish by the old harbour. A beach restaurant table on the sand is a pleasant treat, but it is rarely the best plate you will eat in Tel Aviv, and it is never the cheapest. Conditions and opening times are typical and never guaranteed, so check before a special trip.
Reserve a table or a group day
You do not book the public sand, you just turn up and rent a lounger on arrival. What is worth reserving is a beach restaurant table or a group day at one of the on sand venues. Pick your stretch from the Tel Aviv beach directory, then send a date and party size and we pass it to the venue to confirm availability and any minimum. A weekday and a lunch slot are easier and cheaper than a summer weekend evening.

Before you go
Does Tel Aviv have beach clubs with day beds?
Not in the Mediterranean resort sense. Tel Aviv beaches are public and free, and the day bed you pay for is a rented sunbed and umbrella from the concession on each beach, alongside a handful of beach restaurants and bars on the sand. There is no gated club charging a headline daybed rate here.
How much does a sunbed cost on a Tel Aviv beach?
You pay a small rental for a lounger and shade from the beach concession, usually per bed for the day. The exact figure moves by beach and season, so we hold it as to be confirmed rather than guess. The sand itself is free, so a towel costs nothing at all.
Which Tel Aviv beach is best for a sunbed and lunch?
Gordon and Frishman in the centre are the easy choice for rented loungers, showers and cafes a step from the promenade. For a proper meal on the sand, Manta Ray near Charles Clore is the long standing beach restaurant, while Beach Club TLV and La Mer sit on the central Herbert Samuel stretch.
Where do I eat after the beach in Tel Aviv?
This is the citys real strength. Walk up to the Carmel Market for hummus, sabich and fresh juice, hit the cafes off Rothschild, or head south to Jaffa for fish by the old port. The beach restaurants on the sand are pleasant but the best value and flavour sit a few streets back.
How do I book a Tel Aviv beach venue or event?
For a beach restaurant table, a group day or an event, choose your stretch from the Tel Aviv beach directory and send your date, party size and occasion through the form on this page. We pass it to the venue to confirm availability and any minimum, and some bookings may earn us a commission at no cost to you.
