As for travel by car there is free parking in front of Sokolov Beach and the walk to Papaya is just one minute away. There are cafes and restaurants along the boardwalk or TAYELET in Hebrew. This site SURF-FORECAST is almost 100% accurate. Even though I do not surf I am a swimmer and this is my mornings indicator as to how swimming will be that day.
Should you need surf supplies, there is a sports shop on the Ga'aton Boulvard 5 minute walk, and less than a 5 minute drive to Putzker (A complete Marine shop) at the Nahariya Marina next to the Galei Galil Beach and Nahariya Country Club.
Nahariya is an ideal location for sun, surf, and sand ! Visit and you will not regret it if you seek clean pristene water, unpolluted, and a township which is pastoral.
Baruch Habaa or Welcome to Nahariya !”
