In the middle of Tel Aviv, just in front of the Hilton Hotel, Hilton Beach is one of Tel Aviv’s best spots, located right between the Marina of Tel Aviv and a big, T-shaped jetty. With a reef/sand mix bottom, Hilton can provide small mushy peaks on waist-high days, and some nice A-frames on bigger, more powerful days. The spot is quite sheltered, so it can handle any winds up to 20 kts other than straight W.

Suitable for beginners when it’s small, but when it gets bigger the current and the reef can make it difficult and a bit dangerous, even for intermediate surfers.

Usually super crowded, but it’s still possible to get it with thin crowds every once in a while because it can so suddenly turn on, even on small days.
