Rosh Hanikra Grottoes

At Rosh Hanikra, pale limestone cliffs meet the Mediterranean just south of the Lebanese border. Waves have carved a system of sea grottoes, creating an unusual combination of rock passages, turquoise water and coastal views.

Access to the grottoes is managed by a dedicated visitor attraction. The sea conditions can affect entry, and some paths may be wet or slippery. The cliffs and coastal lookout are a different experience from a conventional beach.

What to see

• Sea grottoes formed by wave erosion
• White limestone cliffs above the Mediterranean
• Coastal viewpoints at Israel’s northern edge
