The port, which a little over a decade ago was a cluster of hulking ruined warehouses, has reinvented itself with fish restaurants and cafés in its southern and northern sections. It ends where the pavement gives way to a wooden platform designed with moderate dips and curves, pleasing to the eye and fun for roller-skaters. Also here is Bayit Banamal, a small mall with eclectic boutiques. It's one of Tel Aviv's most popular attractions for locals. On weekends, when restaurants are all packed by 1 PM, there's a farmer's market and a small swap meet good for finding hand-made jewelry, old books, and circa-1950s Israeli crafts and memorabilia.
