The little black dot in the sea is an Israeli military patrol boat. It was there because the Lebanese border is about 100 yards to the north of the boat.

Rosh Hanikra is a kibbutz - to the left in the photo is the agricultural part of the kibbutz. A kibbutz ("gathering," "clustering") is a collective community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. Today, farming has been partly supplanted by other economic branches, including industrial plants and high-tech enterprises. The typical Kibbutz began as a utopian community, a combination of socialism and Zionism. In recent decades, many kibbutzim have been privatized and changes have been made in the communal lifestyle. A member of a kibbutz is called a kibbutznik.

Rosh Hanikra has beautiful underground grottoes carved out by the sea and coastal views with chalk cliffs overlooking the sea.

In the background is a beach on the Mediterranean Sea.
