Mineral Beach
Mineral Beach Review
Less touristy and more serene than some of the other beaches, Mineral Beach is a good place to mix and mingle with Israelis. There are restrooms, showers, a pool fed by a nearby thermal spring, a freshwater wading pool for kids, and a snack shop. It also offers massages (reserve in advance).
