Coast North With Children

A Sharon-to-Carmel day that alternates water, stones, peacocks, and a paying cove. Built for families who will not last on ruins alone.

LeaveLeave the Netanya / Sharon area by 8:30 so Beit Yanai is still cool and Dor is not a late-day gamble on lifeguards.
MealsLate breakfast or early lunch at Cafe Zahara. Do not count on Dor for a sit-down meal.

Lifeguards at Beit Yanai and Dor are seasonal. Confirm INPA hours and which Dor/Habonim gate you want.

    Kristi Kate special: come for lunch in Ein Carmel’s artists’ courtyard. Leave after the children have followed the peacocks and you have spent more NIS than planned in the workshops.
