Eilat has many beautiful beaches, but when I travel to Eilat I have to make a stop at “Bar Beach”. I wrote this post years ago but we continue to go back here almost every year. I’m writing this in 2024, and it has actually just improved over the years.
How to Find the Best Beach in Eilat
Take a taxi, and ask him to drop you off at “Hof Ben Harush”. The taxi will drop you in the beach parking lot, south of Coral Beach. Go down a narrow path between a restaurant (the beach is named after the restaurant) and a booth renting scuba gear. You’ll find yourself on a small beach, usually overcrowded with tourists, and most of them taking diving lessons. Don’t stop there, keep walking towards the small pier, where the restaurant has tables set up. Just after you cross the pier, you will find yourself on an even narrower and smaller strip of beach. That’s the one I am talking about! If you go just a few steps further you will once again be on a crowded, though bigger, tourist beach – Hof Haalmogim/Coral Beach.
Reading back I’ve made it sound complicated to reach but it really isn’t! Just arrive in the car park and walk to the nearest access to the best beach in Eilat and you’re basically there.
Why do I think this is the Best Beach in Eilat?
You have the Bar Beach restaurant( not Kosher) right next to you, with a toilet and background music. The restaurant serves you where you are sitting on the comfortable couches under large umbrellas on a wooden deck.
As for sitting, the tiny beach is laid out with super comfortable chairs, tables, and umbrellas. However, one minus is the lack of lots of sand. If you really want sand go a few steps further to Coral Beach, another of Eilat’s best beaches.
The Red Sea at the Best Beach in Eilat
And lastly of course there is the sea. Here your kids can safely play in the water, and see fish when they are only ankle-deep. It is a perfect place for snorkeling and you can hire the equipment for a few shekels from the booth you passed. The sea is down two steps from the raised “Bar Beach” deck area, but right under your nose, so that you can comfortably relax and still watch the kids. I recommend the hummus, salad, and chips, together with a lemon and mint crushed ice smoothie while watching the sun go down.
For an all-inclusive family hotel try the Siesta (message me on Instagram at Travel.by.Petal for the best hotel prices) Eilat is one of my top picks for places to go in Israel. If you want to read about more travel ideas in Israel go here.
I guess this place is just perfect for my honeymoon.
It is really a unique way to guide the visitor & share of information about beach. Beach is a best place to visit & we can simple enjoy whole day there
