At the windy beach

Tel Aviv - Israel

I decided to go to the beach...it's so incredible to have such a climate in early December for a northern bear like I am.Unluckily today it's very windy, can you see my tie? It's blowing away.... Nature granted Tel Aviv-Jaffa a wonderful gift: 14 kilometers of seashore.
During the hot summer months the beach attracts thousands of people, who enjoy the cool relief of the seawater, the suntan and the various beach games.
In the other seasons of the year, when the sun's rays are softer, many tourists come to the beach from the many hotels on the seafront.
When Tel Aviv expanded, the founding fathers were swift to develop beach equipment and amusements on a shore. In the 1920s, there were the famous bathing areas and the casino, where people used to sip a cold beverage, but not gamble. In the 1930s, a splendid promenade marked the site.
